Ogun State governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has donated a sum of N5
million in support of the construction of an ultra modern church
hall at St Johns Anglican Church, Ijebu Igbo in memory of the late
Afenifere leader Pa Abrahamm Adesanya.
The governor, according to his Press Officer, Mr Kehinde Onasanya made
the donation at a special thanksgiving service held at the late
Yoruba leader's church in Ijebu Igbo, after which he visited Pa
Adesanya's masoleum in company of Adesanya's son Bayo , some members
of the family and Senator Biyi Durojaiye among others where prayers
were offered.
Otunba Daniel described the donation as a fulfillment of the promise
made towards the hall project, stressing the need to always ensure
that “the rites of passage of the late icon is celebrated with success”
The governor described the late Yoruba Leader as a man of valor,
courage and honor who epitomized the Yoruba concept of omoluwabi
(meaning great virtue), but regretted the absence of such values in the
nation's body polity.
“We should continue to pray for such men of valor and honesty who had
a very clean past to serve as a role model to our generation'', said
Daniel
He urged sons and daughters of Ijebu Igbo to continue to live in unity in order to uphold the ideals of the late leader.
Speaking at the occasion, the eldest son of the deceased, Mr Bayo
Adesanya thanked the governor for standing solidly by the family ''
when papa was alive and after his demise”
The vicar of the church, Venerable Deleola Opeyemi in his sermon had
told the congregation to live in the fear of God as the author and
finisher of man's faith.
