Our nation cannot forget in a hurry the courageous role he played in the events leading to the establishment of Amotekun in the Southwest.
“Akeredolu, was one of the most outspoken President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and he was a diligent and thoroughbred legal practitioner. He left indelible political and legal footprints on the sands of time.
