Published by

A governorship aspirant and immediate past Senator for Oyo South District, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, has described the death of Speaker Michael Adeyemo as shocking and devastation to the entire House of Assembly, his family and the people of the state.

Lanlehin, in a condolence message from his media office, said Adeyemo, who was a great lawyer, would be sorely missed for his outstanding leadership skills and his espousal of politics without bitterness and violence.

Describing him as a great stabilizer in the eighth Assembly and team player in the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures where he was an active and played enviable role, Lanlehin tasked his colleagues to sustain Adeyemo’s legacy of peace.

“My heart goes out to his immediate family, the people of Ibarapa East State Constituency, his colleagues and associates in this trying time. The speaker was a fine gentleman, a humble brilliant lawyer whose positive impact was felt wherever he went.

“Coming seven years after he lost his wife during childbirth, I can only pray that God should grant him eternal rest and keep the children safe and flourishing and the family, the fortitude to bear the painful loss,” he said.
