Prominent Nigerians, including President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday commiserated with Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State over the death of his father, Ademola.
Fashola’s father, who died on Monday, was aged 80.
Others, who sympathised with the Fashola family, were Governors Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo); Rauf Aregbesola (Osun); Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun); Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo), and Peter Obi of Anambra State.
Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, urged Fashola and his family to be comforted by the fact that the deceased returned to his Creator as a fulfilled man.
The statement read, “As they mourn Pa Fashola, President Jonathan urges Governor Fashola, his family and people of Lagos State to give thanks to God for the octogenarian’s very exemplary and accomplished life. The President urges to them to be comforted by the knowledge that Pa Fashola is returning to his Creator as a very blessed and fulfilled man, who lived to see his son become a two-term governor of one of Nigeria’s most populous and vibrant states.”
May His Soul Rest In Peace !!!
