The Governor of Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde, has commiserated with his Ogun counterpart, Mr Dapo Abiodun, over the death of his father, Dr Emmanuel Abiodun, aged 89.
Makinde, in a statement issued in Ibadan on Tuesday by his Press Secretary, Mr Taiwo Adisa, expressed his heartfelt condolences to Abiodun and the entire Abiodun family of Iperu Remo in Ogun.
According to him, though, the death of one’s loved one is always painful, Pa Abiodun deserves to be celebrated for the good life he lived and the great legacy he left behind.
The governor urged Abiodun to take solace in the indelible marks his father left on earth as a teacher and nation-builder of many decades.
Makinde described the deceased as a devout Christian, who sowed worthy seeds, bearing good fruits in the society.
He prayed to God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the exit of their beloved father. (NAN)
