“His death leaves a void in the hearts of many who came to know him for his integrity, faith, and commitment to community service,” Senator Adeola stated.
The senator, who currently chairs the Senate Committee on Appropriations, prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased’s soul and for strength for the family to bear what he described as “the irreparable loss of a devoted patriarch.”
