Ile Oodua received the news of the sudden death of Honorable Dejo Makinde with rude shock.
Hon Makinde representing Ife Central Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly was a gentleman endowed with attributes of OMOLUABI and his positive impacts will remain indelible on minds of not only inhabitants of Ile-Ife but the entire State of Osun, having patriotically served as Ife Central Local Government boss and a legislator representing Ife Central Constituency in the State House of Assembly.
His Imperial Majesty, The Arole Oodua, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(OjajaII) hereby expressed the condolences of Ile Oodua to the members of his immediate and extended family, relatives, friends, political associates, fellow state legislators and all his Ife Central constituents’ for whom he had been a very good ambassador in the last eighteen months.
Though he left us when his courage and carriage would have been of immense benefit to Ile-Ife and Osun, we pray his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, as death is only the end of the physical life and beginning of an eternity.
Signed;
Comrade Moses Olafare,
Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s palace, Ile-Ife.
