Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sympathised with deputy governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ms.Funke Akindele over the death of her mother, Dr. RB Adebanjo-Akindele.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, noted that it is hard to find the right words, especially at a time like this, for someone who has lost a beloved person. “Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows for man,” he said.
The Governor prayed for peace, comfort, courage and love for Funke, her siblings, the Adebanjo and Akindele families, as they go through a most difficult period of mourning of the dead.
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 on February 7, 2023.
“The death of loved ones is a very painful episode, but we must be consoled by the good life lived by the deceased. We should relish in the beautiful memories they left behind for us.”
The Governor urged Ms. Akindele to be comforted by the good life that her mother lived and continue to pray for the repose of her soul.
“May God grant the departed eternal rest and the families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” he added.
