Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun has sympathized with the family of Ogun state Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Olaniyi Ijalaye.
Ijalaye died on Monday after a meeting at INEC headquarters in Abuja.
In a statement signed by the governor Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran, he described late Ijalaye as a honest, committed, and cerebral public servant with a high level of humility and patriotism.
“I sympathize with the entire Ijalaye dynasty, the people, and the government of Ondo State on the passing of their great and illustrious son. Indeed, Barrister Ijalaye was an exemplary figure of diligence, commitment, and honesty in public service.
“While his death came as a rude shock to us in Ogun State, we take solace in the fact that he lived a fulfilled life of integrity and indelible impact; may God rest his soul and protect the family he left behind.”
