A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Segun Sowunmi, has commiserated with Governor Dapo Abiodun, over the death of his father, Dr Emmanuel Adesanya Abiodun.
Pa. Abiodun died on Monday at the age of 89 after a brief illness.
Showunmi urged Abiodun to consider the torrents of accolades poured on his late father as a highly dedicated teacher, a confirmation that the governor has an enviable heritage and must therefore build on it to selflessly serve the people of Ogun State.
In his letter of condolence to the governor, Showunmi, who served as the spokesman of Atiku Abubakar 2019 PDP Presidential Campaign, described Pa Abiodun as a beloved father and one of the fortunate parents who have had the rare privilege of watching their son become the executive Governor of Ogun State in their lifetime.
He said that the late educationist must have died a fulfilled and happy man having sat beside the governor when taking the oath of office over two years ago
Showunmi added: ‘’In the following days and weeks to come, as you prepare the befitting rite of passage for him, I am sure that many kind words will be spoken about the disciplined teacher and committed educator that he was.
“I bid you to keep the accolades in mind and use them as a pivot to help you remember that you are the son of godly heritage and as such, you must be above board in all things, especially on the high pedestal of the office of Governor.’’
