Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde is currently mourning the death of his commissioner for agriculture and natural resources, Kehinde Ayoola.

Agboola, who has been a friend of Makinde since 2002, had his last breath this morning, Thursday May 14, 2020 after a brief illness.

The governor on his official Facebook page described Ayoola as a loyal and dedicated friend, whose service will be missed by the state.

He wrote, “I received with deep sadness, the news of the death of my dear friend and colleague, Rt. Honourable Kehinde Ayoola. Up until his death this morning, he served as the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources in Oyo State.

“I met late Rt. Honourable Ayoola in 2002, when we worked together as members of the Fortune Group for the election of Senator Rasheed Ladoja. He also served as the Director General for my 2015 campaign and the Deputy Director General for my 2019 campaign.

“He was a loyal friend with a dedication to duty that cannot be questioned. He will be sorely missed for his great oratory skills and his love for the people of Oyo Town and Oyo State. May his soul rest in peace.”
