In a statement by Governor Sanwo-Olu, issued by Mr. Gbenga Akosile, Chief Press Secretary, on Tuesday, losing mothers is one of the deepest sorrows for man and it is often difficult to find the right words at a time like this for someone who has lost a beloved person.
He said: “My heart goes out to Funke, friends of the Adebanjo and Akindele families on the demise of their daughter, mother and grandmother, Dr. RB Adebanjo-Akindele who answered the ultimate call today, Tuesday 7th of February, 2023.
“Death of loved ones, whenever it happens, is usually a very painful episode but we must be consoled by the good life lived by the deceased person. We should relish in the beautiful memories the dead left behind for us.
“On behalf of my family and the good people of Lagos State, I hereby express my heartfelt condolences to the entire families and friends of Adebanjo and Akindele.”
The Governor prayed for courage, peace, comfort and love for Funke Akindele, who is the Lagos State PDP Deputy Governorship candidate; her immediate siblings; the Adebanjo and Akindele families as they pass through a hard period of mourning for the dead.
May God grant the soul of the departed eternal rest as well as the families the fortitude to bear the loss.
