…Underlines involvement of Governor Aiyedatiwa, former Governor Mimiko, Ambassador Omowa, former Transport Minister Adegoroye, Bishop Arogundade, others
The Director of Corporate Communication in National Space Research and Development Agency, Dr. Felix Ale has acknowledged the roles played by both individuals and organisations towards the success recorded during the burial of his Father-in-law, Hon(Chief) Fred Ojo Akinpelumi in Ondo City.
The Oka-Akoko-born Communication Scholar particularly appreciated Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his involvement in making the events successful while also thanking former Governor Olusegun Mimiko for his fatherly roles.
The burial of the former Chairman of Ondo West local government area and the Bobatolu of Ondo Kingdom was held at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church and climaxed at the Ondo Civic Centre where guests were treated to sumptuous meals with the popular Femi Solar on the band stand.
Dr. Ale appreciated the Lord Bishop of Ondo Catholic Diocese, Rt. Revd Jude Arogundade for presiding over the funeral service while emphasising the huge support received from his boss, the Director-General of National Space Research and Development Agency, Dr. Mathew Adepoju and the entire management.
Apart from Governor Aiyedatiwa represented by Women Affairs and Social Development Commissioner, Lola Fagbemi and former Governor Mimiko, other notable personalities in attendance include Ambassador Roland Omowa, Bobagunwa Segun Ategbole, former Transport Minister Ademola Adegoroye as well as representatives of Osemawe and Olubaka-in-Councils.
Dr. Ale stated that the support received played significant roles in ensuring a befitting home-going for a man who lived not only for himself but for his community and all those who came across him.
The federal director also used the opportunity to condole with Governor Aiyedatiwa and the entire state on the death of the Secretary to State Government, Hon. Temitayo Oluwatuyi who he described as a civilised gentleman, prolific grassroots mobiliser as well as a God-fearing Philanthropist.
In his words, “I have had close contact with the late SSG event in my journalism days and I can confirm that he was always available to make your assignments easier and a success”.
“I will also use this medium to commend Governor Aiyedatiwa for suspending programmes already outlined to mark his birthday in honour of the SSG”, Dr. Ale added.
