Tinubu eulogises Bode Akindele

THE National Leader of All Progressives Congress ( APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has expressed sadness over the death of a prominent Ibadan businessman and philanthropist, Chief Bode Akindele, who died on Monday, June 29, 2020.

In his condolence message yesterday, Tinubu said Akindele’s demise was a great and irredeemable loss for our people.

According to him, “Chief Akindele lived a long and fulfilled life marked by a multitude of impressive achievements. He was a self- made man who single- handedly built a large and successful business empire with interests spanning maritime, property, manufacturing, real estate, finance and flour milling.

“He was an astute and driven businessman and the breadth and variety of his interests stand as a monument to his uncanny ability to achieve success no matter the nature of the endeavour upon which he decided to embark. Chief Akindele’s success was not limited to Nigeria or, indeed, Africa.

“Chief Akindele was able to achieve greatness on a global scale.”
