“We will really miss Mama because I know we still need her wisdom and words of advice. But we are happy that she lived a good life worthy of emulation,” Rt. Hon. Obasa said.
Obasa stated further that, “Mama Akande was a caring and loving mother not only to her biological children but also to all of us who have come in contact with her while until her demise, she was an obedient, caring, loving, dutiful and loyal wife to our dear Chief Akande”.
While commiserating with the Akande family of Ila Orangun in Osun State, Rt. Hon. Obasa prayed that God gives the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
