Vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, on Saturday morning, undertook a private visit to the widow of the late rights activist, Mr Ariyo Dare-Atoye, Mrs Abiola Dare-Atoye, to commiserate with her on the passing of her husband.
Okowa said the late Rights Activist Ariyo Dare-Atoye fought for humanity and for the oppressed, for justice and a better society.
Okowa told Mrs Dare-Atoye: “The nation is forever in your husband’s debt for his strength and advocacy. He lived a short life; but he lived a life full of purpose.“
He prayed with the wife and family, and asked God to comfort, provide and protect them in their hours of need.
In a message he later penned in the condolence register, Okowa said: “Ariyo Dare fought for humanity. He fought for the oppressed, for justice and a better society for us all. We will sorely miss him. May his soul Rest In Peace. Adieu Ariyo. 29/10/2022”.
Dignitaries, including former Ekiti State Governor, Asiwaju Segun Oni, have been trooping to the residence to identify with Ariyo Dare-Atoye’s family.
