In a condolence message issued today, by the Director of the Bureau of Communications and Strategy, Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon, Aregbesolav said that the issue is not about Hon. Makinde Oladejo, but about the fact that death is a certainty that must come to every living being.
“Though it is very painful to lose somebody like Hon. Oladejo at that youthful age, but one clear lesson is the transient nature of life itself,” the governor emphasized even as he extended his condolences to the family of the deceased who died yesterday at the age 48 after a brief illness.
He represented Ife Central and was the Minority leader of the state House of Assembly.
The Governor, who prayed for the repose of Hon. Makinde Oladejo Samson’s soul, extended his “profound condolence to the immediate family, members of The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun, Ife Central and the people of Osun.
“It is my fervent prayer that God will grant him Eternal home at the bosom of Jesus Christ and give the people of Ife Central the fortitude to bear the loss. We also pray God to comfort his family and give them courage and hope.”

In a condolence message in Ile-Ife by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare,nOba Ogunwusi said Makinde, who represented Ife Central Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, was a gentleman endowed with attributes of “Omoluabi.”
According to him, his positive impacts will remain indelible on the minds of not only inhabitants of Ile-Ife but the entire state of Osun State, having patriotically served as Ife Central Local Government boss.
“Although he left us when his courage and carriage would have been of immense benefit to Ile-Ife and Osun, we pray his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.” [myad]
