The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed condolences to Funke Akindele, the Peoples Democratic Party’s deputy governorship candidate in Lagos, on the death of her mother, Dr. Adebanjo-Akindele.
In a statement published on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu said it is difficult to find the perfect words to condole someone who has lost a loved one, saying that losing moms is one of man’s deepest tragedies.
The governor prayed for peace, comfort, bravery, and love for Funke, his immediate siblings, and the Adebanjo and Akindele families during their time of mourning.
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, February 7, 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.
The governor urged the PDP deputy governorship candidate to be comforted by the good life that her late mother lived and continue to pray for the repose of the deceased.
“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.
“May God grant the soul of the departed eternal rest and the families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” he added.
