The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun has commiserated with the family of the late Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the State, Olaniyi Ijalaye.
The Governor, in a statement early Tuesday and signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran, also condoled INEC for the loss, saying Ijalaye’s death came to him as a rude shock.
Abiodun described the late REC as an honest, committed, and cerebral public servant with a high level of humility and patriotism, as well as an exemplary, uncompromising nature.
He prayed for the repose of his soul and the fortitude for his immediate family, friends, and colleagues to bear the irreplaceable loss.
The late Ogun REC reportedly died on Monday evening in Abuja, after attending a meeting convened by the Commission at its national headquarters.
