The Ondo state governor’s speech was punctuated with weeping and heavy sighs while he regretted what will never be forgotten by residents of the state and indeed, most Nigerians.
Akeredolu who noted that he lacks the right words to describe what happened stated that he has failed his people, not because his government did not try to protect people but largely due to the fact that the evil-minded fellows had support.
