Deputy Minority Whip, Attacker condoles Gov Abiodun over father's demise

Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and his Late Dad, Dr Emmanuel Abiodun

The Deputy Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Hon Adesegun AbdelMajid Adekoya popularly called 'Attacker' has sent his condolence message to Gov Dapo Abiodun over the demise of his 89-yr-old father and accomplished teacher on Monday

In a statement the PDP federal lawmaker personally signed and made available to our Correspondent, Adesegun Adekoya said he had received the news of the passing on of Pa Emmanuel Abiodun with sadness having been the irreplaceable loss of an accomplished and highly successful educationist who had impacted many lives for good during his glorious teaching career.

He said just like every residents of the state, he was however consoled that though the great educationist might have departed from this sinful world, he did not only leave behind a very rich legacy of selfless service to humanity through his exploit in teaching but also died a fulfilled man having been privileged to be the father of Prince Dapo Abiodun, the governor of the state.

The lawmaker representing Ijebu North/Ijebu East/Ogun Waterside federal constituency at the House of Representatives has therefore urged Gov Abiodun to accept his deepest condolences over the passage of the great educationist with an assurance that the illustrious community leader is now resting with the saints

The statement reads "The news of the passing on to glory of your father, Pa, Dr. Emmanuel Abiodun, was received with mixed feelings. One being that we have lost an accomplished, successful, and astute, educationist and administrator; the other being that he must have died fulfilled having his son as our Governor. What could be more ennobling and gratifying!

Papa came, saw and conquered. His footprints are simply inerasable in the sands of old Western State's education sector. He has produced men and women across trades and fields of human endeavour. No wonder he was famously called 'BABA TEACHER.' No doubt, he has departed this sinful world, but his good deeds live after him.

In recognition of the fact that he is survived by successful and enviable children one of whom is Your Excellency, I, *Rt. Hon. Adesegun Abdel-Majid Adekoya, the Aremo Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye* , on behalf of my family, and the good people of *Ijebu-North/Ijebu-East /Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency* express our deepest condolences, hanging our faith on the solace that Baba is with the Saints.

Please accept, the assurances of our heartfelt commiseration.

Rt. Hon. Adesegun Abdel-Majid Adekoya
