Vice President Osinbajo while speaking at the burial, hailed the former Governor for being a humane and simple man, who played politics with an open mind.

“Everywhere Alao-Akala went in his days as governor, you would hear the chant of ‘Oyato.’ Of course, he really did many things differently in office”.

“Alao-Akala practically demonstrated what is possible when you have creativity and compassion. Since his transition in January, I have read several glowing tributes to his memory and the common refrain running through all of those tributes has been the attestation to his uncommon generosity”. jamb results
