The Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has described the late Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Michael Adeyemo, as a peace-loving man.
He said the deceased stood for peace, equity, justice and rule of law.
Obasa described Adeyemo as a man who strived for the good of his fellow man, as well as the development, progress and growth of his state and country.
He spoke in a condolence message by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Rasak, addressed to the Oyo State government, House of Assembly, All Progressives Congress (APC) and the deceased’s family.
“The news came as a shock, but it pleases Almighty God to take him away at this particular period. Who are we to query His authority? We love Rt. Hon. Adeyemo, but God loves him more.
“He was such a peace-loving man. A man of wisdom who strived for the good of his fellow man as well as the progress, growth and development of his state and the country at large.
“We will all miss him, particularly at the Conference of Speakers. Oyo State government will miss him, his colleagues at the House of Assembly, members and leaders of APC will miss him, as well as his family. I pray to Almighty God to give us the fortitude to bear the huge loss. I also pray to God to grant him eternal rest,” the Lagos Speaker said.
