Prince Diran Odeyemi, a close aide to late former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has recounted his last moment with the deceased.
He became governor of Oyo State from 2007 to 2011, following the impeachment of his principal, Chief Rashidi Ladoja.He said, “How do you start writing about the obituary of a man you saw bubbling with life three days ago and hearing he passed on the 4th day? What can I write, where do I start from about a man who God used to make me whatever I am today?
“My Oga, my mentor, is that the end? Just like that? You broke to me the death of your friend “Solo” and you talked about the vanity of life. Could that be a passing message to me? “Were those words of wisdom and lectures that “Governance is all about the welfare of the masses” and that “Good name and legacy should be the hallmark of service to humanity” meant to be a premonition? Was the lavish entertainment of guests on that night meant to be our last clicking of glass together?
RIP Sir
May his soul rest in perfect peace!
