President Bolla Tinubu has joined other Nigerians
to personally express their condolences to the family

2
00:00:05,879 –> 00:00:09,560
and the entire people of all those
states over the death of the state Governor,

00:00:09,720 –> 00:00:12,919
route me A Caribulo, who died
on Winnesday morning at the age of

00:00:12,960 –> 00:00:19,359
sixty seven. A statement personally signed
by the Nigeria President Snubu expressed his grief

5
00:00:19,440 –> 00:00:23,679
on the person of the governor,
describing him as a fighter man of ideas

6
00:00:23,679 –> 00:00:29,000
and actions as well as careless defender
of truth and the masses. A Caribou,

7
00:00:29,160 –> 00:00:33,759
at sixty seven, died after a
prolonged battle with prostate cancer. The

8
00:00:33,840 –> 00:00:40,799
state government confirmed the States Commissioner for
Information and Orientation, Missus Armideleer Demola,

twenty seventh, twenty twenty three.
In his tribute, President Bolla Ahmed Sinoubu

12
00:00:56,280 –> 00:01:00,479
said, I’m on my fereless brother, route me A Caregolo. It is

13
00:01:00,520 –> 00:01:03,960
a difficult task to have to pen, attribute and sing a dead for a

14
00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:08,000
departing soul. It is a more
difficult job in our African culture when one

15
00:01:08,079 –> 00:01:12,079
is compelled to do so for a
younger person. Yeah, am I having

16
00:01:12,120 –> 00:01:15,000
the difficult job of singing a dead
for all who are route to me or

17
00:01:15,079 –> 00:01:22,519
Luna your careag my beloved brother,
confident political solvement and the executive governor of

18
00:01:22,560 –> 00:01:26,560
all loose States. It is an
impossible task to fully capture in world’s routemins

19
00:01:26,599 –> 00:01:30,959
towering figure and his human essence.
Vrout to Me was a man who moved

20
00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:37,599
our nation towards equity, fairness and
justice in his strident advocacy against every form

21
00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:42,200
of injustice in our country with the
instrumentality of the law as a senior advocate,

22
00:01:42,319 –> 00:01:46,879
Attorney General of his beloved states,
as Presidents of the Nigerian Bar Association,

23
00:01:47,040 –> 00:01:51,280
and Governor of all loose States.
In a challenging moment of our states

24
00:01:51,280 –> 00:01:55,879
with grand maroadine agents of darkness spread
their tentacles across our country, rout to

25
00:01:55,920 –> 00:01:59,920
Me was a strong voice in wilderness
calling us to rethink our security and it’s

26
00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:05,079
so we can have a mon secure
nation. His unrelenting advokese led to the

27
00:02:05,120 –> 00:02:08,400
birth of the local police in the
Southwest. Wrote Me was a man of

28
00:02:08,439 –> 00:02:13,520
ideas and action. While he was
with us, he taught us the power

29
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,960
of action and service in on those
states where he had the honor to serve

30
00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:21,919
as the governor over the past city
years. He served his people with absolute

31
00:02:21,919 –> 00:02:27,639
loyalty, dedication, and forthrightness.
His footprints got the entire landscape of the

32
00:02:27,639 –> 00:02:30,400
states through the hundreds of kilometers of
roads he viewed, the many schools he

33
00:02:30,479 –> 00:02:36,599
viewed and health care facilities that he
provided. During the dark hours when maroadine

34
00:02:36,599 –> 00:02:40,360
agents of blackness visited the states and
killed defenseless citizens who were forty worshippers of

35
00:02:40,439 –> 00:02:44,159
the Catholic Church of a war we
were killed. On June fifth, twenty

36
00:02:44,280 –> 00:02:49,319
twenty two. Rotem his leadership qualities
as a true statesman and compassionate leader adiected

37
00:02:49,360 –> 00:02:53,639
brightly to the world. He was
a monarch in chief who guided his people

38
00:02:53,680 –> 00:02:58,479
through an organizing period. So there
a man, a fighter and fearless defender

39
00:02:58,599 –> 00:03:02,719
of truth and the masses. My
personal journey with Rotimy started as joint members

40
00:03:02,719 –> 00:03:08,360
of the Progressive Family. We fought
many battles together to restore progressive governance in

41
00:03:08,439 –> 00:03:14,639
the Southwest, Edio States and Nigeria
as a whole. During this uncertain period,

42
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:17,919
root to me was resolute and unflinching. He should on common courage as

43
00:03:17,919 –> 00:03:23,039
a member of our legal team in
our battles to reclaim our stolen mandates in

44
00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:28,039
Ekity, on your Edio and Aushun
states. A gallant lawyer and one of

45
00:03:28,080 –> 00:03:31,439
the finest of the legal profession,
I reckoned on him to contest for the

46
00:03:31,479 –> 00:03:37,159
governorship position of on those states in
twenty twelve. Even though he did not

47
00:03:37,319 –> 00:03:40,759
make it in his first attempt,
his enthusiasm and determination to serve his people

48
00:03:40,879 –> 00:03:46,039
never diminished. He eventually made it
to the Alavaka government’s house in his second

49
00:03:46,039 –> 00:03:51,439
attempt in the twenty sixteen election.
Since he was sworn in in February twenty

50
00:03:51,479 –> 00:03:55,840
seventeen, he had served the people
with devotion. Rotimy has pledged his royal

51
00:03:55,919 –> 00:04:00,439
well and left us untimely. We
will never see his likes again. Let

52
00:04:00,520 –> 00:04:03,560
me tell the people of all those
steps that I am grieving with you.

53
00:04:04,360 –> 00:04:09,400
We will not rotem his memory and
met sure his legacy of service is never

54
00:04:09,520 –> 00:04:14,439
forgotten. In my grief and sadness, I have telephoned his wife Betty and

55
00:04:14,560 –> 00:04:17,680
at Saint Governor Lucky ayadetta Wa to
commissarate with them and hold them to take

56
00:04:17,759 –> 00:04:23,560
heart over this national tragedy. Governor
A cared who was not just a friend

57
00:04:23,639 –> 00:04:28,079
and associate, yet the departed leader
was a brother and a soulmates. His

58
00:04:28,279 –> 00:04:31,120
death is a glue to our Governor
a PC and the Progressive family as we

59
00:04:31,199 –> 00:04:35,720
are diminished by it. I hope
that a successful ayadeta Wa will hold step

60
00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:42,160
first to the vision of governors left
by this tiring political leader. Former governor

61
00:04:42,199 –> 00:04:46,160
of an Amvasstet and the presidential candidate
of Labor Party and we just concluded Nigeria

62
00:04:46,319 –> 00:04:50,879
general elections. Peter Wibe recalled how
close he was with the late governor,

63
00:04:50,920 –> 00:04:55,279
wrote to me A caregul who when
the late governor was the President of the

64
00:04:55,360 –> 00:05:00,920
Nigerian Bar Association NBA. Pitters said, I have just re the sad news

65
00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:04,399
of the death or to prominent political
leaders. The governor of Ondo State Governor

66
00:05:04,439 –> 00:05:09,639
wrote me A care dolou and the
former Speaker of the House of Representatives,

67
00:05:09,839 –> 00:05:14,959
Honorable Galium Naba. I was opportune
to be close to Governor A care Doulo

68
00:05:15,040 –> 00:05:19,240
as the then president of the Nigerian
Bar Association NBA. He invited me to

69
00:05:19,319 –> 00:05:24,639
speak at an NBA events and since
then we remain closed and always discuss issues

70
00:05:24,680 –> 00:05:29,959
about Nigeria. While Nava served as
speaker, we met on several locations and

71
00:05:30,120 –> 00:05:34,560
always discussed the problems of Nigeria.
For our Carodolou, May God Almighty who

72
00:05:34,639 –> 00:05:39,879
called him home, grants him internal
rest in his kingdom and grants his immediate

73
00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:43,879
family and the good people of Odose
States the fortitude to bear his loss.

74
00:05:44,759 –> 00:05:48,360
For Gali Naba, may God Almighty
forgive his sins and grant him internal rest

75
00:05:48,439 –> 00:05:53,399
and grant his family and the good
people of Canoe State the fortitude to bear

76
00:05:53,439 –> 00:05:58,279
his loss. Their death show us
who are still serving the nothingness of life

77
00:05:58,319 –> 00:06:02,279
and why we should remain firmly blogs. May God grants all of us who

78
00:06:02,399 –> 00:06:08,920
mowned them and the entire nation with
fortitude to bear their losses. Former Nigeria

79
00:06:09,040 –> 00:06:14,720
Vice President and the presidential candidate for
People’s Democratic Party he DP in the recently

80
00:06:14,800 –> 00:06:19,000
held general elections in Nigeria State.
A Careglouo was never known for destructive politics,

81
00:06:19,800 –> 00:06:23,560
as it he said, it was
with the root shock and sadness that

82
00:06:23,680 –> 00:06:27,240
I read about the passing of the
governor of Oudo States. She wrote to

83
00:06:27,319 –> 00:06:31,360
me. A Carredo san and former
Speaker of the House of Representatives. Honorable

84
00:06:31,439 –> 00:06:38,319
girl man Aaba. Governor Keerdlu was
a quintessential gentleman who took the penis to

85
00:06:38,399 –> 00:06:43,519
governors. It’s a term elected governor
of the Sunshine States. Akeredlu was a

86
00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:48,199
politician of class because he was never
known for destructive politics. Honorable Naaba,

87
00:06:48,319 –> 00:06:53,199
on the other hand, residevre of
legislative enterprise in Nigeria. As it is

88
00:06:53,279 –> 00:06:57,920
evident that the first session of the
National Assembly where he served with distinction between

89
00:06:58,040 –> 00:07:01,319
nineteen nineteen ninetwo thousand and threeymen one
of the best in the annals of our

90
00:07:01,439 –> 00:07:08,120
legislatures. Both Governor are care do
you arkety as he was fondly called and

91
00:07:08,240 –> 00:07:12,399
Speaker Aba will be so amissed for
the unestimable rules that they’re played in our

92
00:07:12,519 –> 00:07:17,600
national development. I expressed deepest condolences
to their respective families and preat to God

93
00:07:17,680 –> 00:07:23,160
to grant their souls a peaceful repose. I also joined the good people and

94
00:07:23,319 –> 00:07:27,800
government of both Odo and Canel States
to mourn the demise of these tiring political

95
00:07:27,920 –> 00:07:31,879
figures. Meanwhile, a doo set
Governor Godwin of Basaki said Werolle to me

96
00:07:31,959 –> 00:07:35,480
a care door who build a legacy
of sacrifice. While he was alive,

97
00:07:36,240 –> 00:07:40,720
Abasaki said, it is with great
grief that I received the news of the

98
00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:45,560
person of my brother governor and their
friend Ara Conry fort me A care do

99
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:49,800

who served his people meritoriously and diligently,

100
00:07:50,040 –> 00:07:58,000
building a legacy of sacrifice, sustainable
development and prosperity. Prem and independent minded,

101
00:07:58,120 –> 00:08:01,959
A carrey Do who was a great
man in rammifications. From an illustrious

102
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:07,399
career as a lawyer, writing to
become a senior Advocate of Nigeria and then

103
00:08:07,480 –> 00:08:11,639
serving as governor of on those States. His intellect, hard work and diligence

104
00:08:11,680 –> 00:08:15,439
stood him out and was reflected in
his attendments and the furveol with which he

105
00:08:15,519 –> 00:08:20,160
served the good people of on those
states. His legacy in the legal profession

106
00:08:20,319 –> 00:08:24,040
is indelible, as he was renowned
in his field of expertise while building a

107
00:08:24,079 –> 00:08:28,079
reputation of being thorough, incisive and
comprehensive. It won him a lot of

108
00:08:28,199 –> 00:08:33,360
admirers who came to recognize his genius
as governor of on those states. A

109
00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:37,919
carible who work for the people of
on those states and was committed to the

110
00:08:37,000 –> 00:08:41,360
state’s advancement, not minding its toll
on him. He was a governor who

111
00:08:41,440 –> 00:08:46,519
cared deeply and undertook projects that would
cement his name in the suns of time.

112
00:08:46,320 –> 00:08:52,200
He made remarkable progress in developing different
sectors of the state’s economy and improved

113
00:08:52,240 –> 00:08:56,840
on key indices of government when it
matters the most. He was always a

114
00:08:56,919 –> 00:09:01,120
voice of reason to provide insights,
direction and guide on issues of national importance.

115
00:09:01,279 –> 00:09:05,679
A reflection of his love for our
dear country and deep introspection, he

116
00:09:05,840 –> 00:09:11,480
indeed gave himself for the service of
the motherland. He will be remembered for

117
00:09:11,559 –> 00:09:16,080
his unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s developments,
for contributing to the emagence of modern undo

118
00:09:16,200 –> 00:09:22,360
states, and for his unlemashed fath
in Nigeria’s unity and diversity. I commiserate

119
00:09:22,440 –> 00:09:26,519
with the government and good people of
those states and their Caredolo family, and

120
00:09:26,639 –> 00:09:31,120
pray that God will grant all the
fortitude to be a dispinful and irreparable loss.

121
00:09:31,960 –> 00:09:37,440
Former presidential spokesperson Reno or More Creer
reacted to some statements describing the death

122
00:09:37,480 –> 00:09:41,240
of Governoral to me a care Dolo
as evidence of the emptiness of life and

123
00:09:41,399 –> 00:09:45,960
vanity of wealth. Reno or more
pre said, romity a cared who positively

124
00:09:46,039 –> 00:09:50,039
affected the heath before he died.
Rena or more pre said, I have

125
00:09:50,159 –> 00:09:54,120
seen some statements describing the death of
governoral to me a care Dolo, as

126
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:58,720
being evidence of the emptiness of life
and vanity of wealth. I beg to

127
00:09:58,879 –> 00:10:03,720
disagree. A carebul who lived for
sixty seven years in a country where the

128
00:10:03,759 –> 00:10:07,039
avid life span is in the fifties, and in that time he positively affected

129
00:10:07,120 –> 00:10:11,919
the earth. He was a successful
legal practitioner who rules to the pinnacle of

130
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:16,440
his profession when he was appointed Attorney
General of on those states in nineteen ninety

131
00:10:16,519 –> 00:10:22,159
seven. Thereafter, he was honored
by his case through his conferment with the

132
00:10:22,240 –> 00:10:26,919
title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria in
nineteen ninety eights. A meritorious saint as

133
00:10:26,960 –> 00:10:33,159
the Chairman of the Legal Accouncil followed
this ten years after he became a son.

134
00:10:33,480 –> 00:10:37,279
His colleagues gave him a stellar and
justment by electing him the President of

135
00:10:37,360 –> 00:10:43,039
the Nigerian Bar Association in two thousand
and eights. He subsequently became Governor of

136
00:10:43,120 –> 00:10:48,080
his state at years letter. None
of these achievements event or empty. Therefore,

137
00:10:48,279 –> 00:10:50,440
the life and times of wrote to
me a caribul or are self evident

138
00:10:50,559 –> 00:10:56,360
in the opposite of that classification.
He lived a very meaningful life and should

139
00:10:56,399 –> 00:11:01,559
be emulated in many areas Instead of
Santin honestness, what we could do is

140
00:11:01,679 –> 00:11:05,480
lend lessons from his life. One
lesson is that we are one united country.

141
00:11:05,960 –> 00:11:09,480
This are carried, do you demonstrated
by his inter tribal marriage to an

142
00:11:09,559 –> 00:11:15,799
eble lady. Another lesson we can
draw from his life is professionalism. He

143
00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:20,320
was not a jackob all threads.
He mightcro focus on his legal career and

144
00:11:20,480 –> 00:11:24,480
made it to the top, proving
that school is not as calm and that

145
00:11:24,639 –> 00:11:28,919
success awaits if you focus by following
one course until success. Finally, we

146
00:11:30,080 –> 00:11:33,679
learned that cancer can afflict anyone at
any time. Therefore, we need to

147
00:11:33,799 –> 00:11:39,320
come more investments into fighting it and
making treatments as local and as affordable as

148
00:11:39,399 –> 00:11:45,960
possible. Because early detection is often
crucial to defeating that schoge. We would

149
00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:50,039
all do well to get a regular
health check of even as local states and

150
00:11:50,159 –> 00:11:54,360
federal government should do more to make
this a possibility for ordinary Nigerians. That

151
00:11:54,559 –> 00:11:58,559
would be a worthy tribute to Akti
as a carried door who was fondly called

152
00:11:58,600 –> 00:12:03,639
by his people. I did not
know him enough to mourn him, so

153
00:12:03,879 –> 00:12:07,720
I will not do that, as
it may be considered hypocritical by his immediate

154
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:11,639
family. But I know of him
sufficiently to celebrate his life. Here.

155
00:12:11,679 –> 00:12:16,639
His soul rest in peace, and
may God grant his family fortitude and supple.

156
00:12:16,399 –> 00:12:20,639
Additionally, we pray for the key’s
progress and stability of undo. The

157
00:12:20,759 –> 00:12:24,720
sets are cared that you want so
much, we can’t go at any time.

158
00:12:26,320 –> 00:12:28,919
So let us use the present like
a present and live with presence of

159
00:12:30,039 –> 00:12:33,000
mind. Live life well before you
live life
