Oyo lawmaker, Honourable Akintunde Olajide has expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde over what the lawmaker described as a show of fatherly love and support towards his son especially since the demise of his mother Mrs. Oluwayemisi Olajide.
In a ‘Thank you’ message by the lawmaker made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday October 10, ‘AKT’ as he is popularly called said Governor Makinde was constantly in touch with him on the phone despite the fact that the Governor has been out of town on official duties as well as his very busy schedules.
“I must confess that my Governor surpassed my imagination, and that is the truth because the feeling you get when the Governor is very concerned and involved with you is that of a father and son because despite his very busy schedules, the Governor was always in touch with me via calls and text messages just to make sure I am fine. I feel greatly blessed to having Governor Seyi Makinde in my life I must confess.” Hon. Olajide said.
The Chairman House Committee on Employment, Labour, Productivity, and Pension also expressed gratitude to the Deputy Governor, Engr Rauf Olaniyan who he said played a fatherly role throughout the preparation for his mother’s funeral and final internment stressing that the show of love and affection greatly reduced the emotional pain and psychological trauma of losing someone so dear to his heart as his mother.
The letter reads: “Nothing is more difficult than saying goodbye to a loved one especially someone so important as my mother and I may never be able to find the right words to fully express my deepest appreciation for the kindness, Love and support shown me and my family before, during, and after the burial of my dear mum.
