He further encouraged the family to take solace in the values and teachings Pa Akande instilled during his lifetime, noting that though his physical presence will be missed, his wisdom, humility, and guidance will continue to live on through his children, grandchildren, and community members.
Hon. Oseni also prayed that God grants the Akande family the strength to bear the irreparable loss, while ensuring that the soul of the departed rests in eternal peace.
Highlighting the accomplishments of Prof. Adeolu Akande, the lawmaker noted that they serve as a reflection of the late Pa Akande’s mentorship and upbringing, which instilled in his children the principles of service, integrity, and excellence.
