The Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Adeola (APC, Lagos West), has described the demise of Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande at the age of 91 as a big loss to the Progressives family, where he was indeed a true Progressive leader with verifiable record of service to the people of Lagos State and indeed Nigeria.
In a statement mourning the death of the former Governor of Lagos State between 1979 and 1983, the Senator stated that Alhaji Jakande’s exemplary life and performance in public offices was a model, which is worthy of emulation by any true progressive with a mind to impact positively on his people.
“Alhaji LKJ was a foremost Constituent from Lagos West Senatorial District, that we are proud of as a good example of service to the people in earthly sojourn. We will surely miss his wise and fatherly counsel in running of public affairs and his repository of knowledge during a critical time in the history of Nigeria” Senator Adeola stated.
The Senator prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the great leader and the fortitude for the immediate family to bear the irreparable loss.
