Senator representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly, Dr. Mohammed Kola Balogun has sent his condolences to the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the elder brother, Chief Olumuyiwa Makinde and the entire family on the passage of the matriarch, madam Abigail Makinde.
Sen. Balogun, in the condolence message signed by the Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Rotimi Johnson Ojasope, said mama Abigail Makinde was hale and hearty until her call to glory.
According to him, she was an articulate, industrious and jovial octogenarian with a very good sense of judgement. He said, “there is no doubt that mama lived a fulfilled life but her sudden death still came as a rude shock to us. We thank God for her life and we pray the Lord will grant our dear Governor, his siblings and the entire family the grace to bear this loss.”
Senator Balogun further stated that, “We would have loved to have the mother of both the Director General of my campaign organization, Chief Olumuyiwa Makinde and the Governor, for more years, but we have taken solace in God’s perfect plan for mama and the whole family”.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the Governor and the entire family at this time and we express the profound feelings of the good people of the district in the same vein.”
