“That Almighty Allah (SWT) let Baba Orunsolu see the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan and more so, at that grand age tells us that it is important we immortalise him by emulating the virtues exemplified by the late cleric.

“Alhaji never treated me as a Governor. He was a father to me, and I will personally miss him for his words of wisdom.

“May Allah grant him Aljanah Firdaus, and comfort the family he left with us.”
