Osun State Government has expressed sadness over the sudden death of Sunday Alakinde, one of the popular radio presenters on Unique F.M Ilesha.

The government equally described Alakinde’s death as too colossal a loss to the entire Osun Media family and Nigeria in general.

Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs Funke Egbemode, in a condolence message to the entire management and staff of the Ilesha-based private radio station, recalled  Alakindes journalistic erudition, sagacity and brilliant presentations coupled with good command of Yoruba language while on “Ojutole Ojutoko” a daily Yoruba newspaper programme on Unique F.M Ilesha.

In her words, “On behalf of the governor, state of Osun, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, the government and  entire good people of the state of Osun, please accept my heartfelt condolences.”

“May God grant the management and staff of your station and in particular The Alakinde family the fortitude to bear the great loss.”
