Showunmi Sends Condolence Message To Governor Dapo Abiodun Over Father’s Death

Your Excellency,

Condolence of the passing of your Father, Dr Emmanuel Adesanya Abiodun.

I write to commiserate with you and the Abiodun Royal Family of Iperu on the passing of your patriarch, Dr Emmanuel Adesanya Abiodun, your beloved father.

In writing you, I had to do a deep search to know what to say, for I love to own my thoughts and words for posterity sake.

I am convinced that a nobleman raised you, having been around our beloved Ogun State for so long, watching and observing the activities of your last three predecessors, and seeing the level of tolerance, forbearance and calmness with which you have especially managed to treat all and sundry under your watch in Ogun. I became convinced that it must be down to your upbringing, to which you can be justly proud.

Your beloved father is one of the fortunate parents who have had the privilege of watching their son become the executive Governor of Our Ogun in his lifetime; oh, what a happy man he must have been sitting beside you as you took the oath of office.

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.
The paintbrush of history is firmly in your hand, do endeavour to leave a praiseworthy legacy.

May the soul of your father Rest In Peace
And may the peace of God which passeth all understanding be with you and your family.
