Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, a Professor of Political Science and former Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has sympathized with the family of Chief Ernest Shonekan after the passing of the former Head of the Interim National Government of Nigeria.
Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi said, “He played it (Head of the Interim National Government of Nigeria) to the best of his ability…there were good things he did in his life, history will also record that. I sympathize with his family, and I sympathize with Nigeria. That’s another leader who has vacated the scene.”
