Ajimobi, who said Are was his uncle, also extolled the values of Are who he said was a frank and honest person. “He said he would be at the Governor’s Office to ‘knock’ my head if I should for any reason abuse Senator Ladoja and that was why I did not abuse him.” “Dr Are told me that some of the things we do would pass away. He said I should not fight anybody. My ‘egbon’ said there is a fight between us, forgetting the fact that like him, I am also from Oja Oba. We are from the same place. Dr Are said we should not fight so we will not fight.

“We are here not to mourn but to celebrate his life. I didn’t have the opportunity to relate closely with him before his passage. The only interaction I had with him was when he sent me a letter saying he could not see me immediately. He was a man that affected many people. He touched many lives.’’ Members of the late Are’s family at the occasion were the deceased’s wife, Chief Olabisi Are; her son, Damola; daughter, Lola Are-Igun; and her husband, Adenola.
