In a heartfelt condolence message signed on Tuesday by its spokesman in Ondo State, Eric Oluwole, Afenifere under the state leadership of Hon Korede Duyile described Oluwatuyi as “a well dedicated public servant whose significant contributions to the advancement and development of Ondo State will leave a lasting legacy.”
