Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said that the death of his mother, late Madam Abigail Omojolagbe Makinde has further confirmed to him that human beings’ stay on earth is truly temporal.
Makinde, who stated this today at the Cathedral of St. Paul, Yemetu, Ibadan during the thanksgiving serving in honour of his late mother, who was buried yesterday, said that no matter how long a human being lives, the reality of death was unmistakable.
In attendance were the state Deputy Governor, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan and his wife, Amudalat Bolanle Olaniyan, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG),Olubamiwo Adeosun, top government functionaries, Engr Sunday Makinde; Kayode Adedeji; Chief Muyiwa Makinde and Pastor Omololu Makinde, friends and political associates of the governor.
Makinde said, “I really want to appreciate you all for what you did at the funeral service of my late mother at Aremo Cathedral. I thank God for the kind of life my mother lived. I sat down after my mum passed away to do some calculations to know the number of days she spent on earth. And I discovered she spent exactly twenty-nine thousand, five hundred and nine days (29,509). We can think the days are long, but it will end one day. That’s just the truth”.
“Even, if anyone will spend 100 years on Earth, such a person will spend about thirty-six thousand (36,000) days. So, it will end one day. The word of the Lord would not go without being fulfilled on any of us. We really appreciate your support and thank you very much”.
