The unity and togetherness of the nation remain key to us all.” He expressed appreciation to the president, on behalf of the Akinkunmi family and the entire state, for sending the high-powered delegation to condole with the state, saying the people of Oyo State are ready to cooperate with the federal government on the unity of the country.
