Encomiums as Bode Akindele is Buried in Ibadan
The remains of business mogul, Chief Bode Akindele, were buried in Ibadan, Oyo State, yesterday.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted Makinde as saying that the late Chairman of Modandola Group lived a good life and left indelible marks on the sand of time, adding that the late business mogul followed the Biblical admonition in Psalm 90 verse 12, that we should number our days and incline our hearts unto wisdom.
“The first time I met Baba physically was in this church and I said to him that I have been looking for an opportunity for us to meet face-to-face. My father did pray that when I grow up, I should be like Chief Bode Akindele, Parakoyi of Ibadanland. This means Baba numbered his days in wisdom.” “After I left Baba, I went back home and called some of those that are close to me and told them Baba has succeeded in tearing our ideas to pieces and, as a result, we would not go ahead with it. This is because we would not commit Oyo State resources to a project that we cannot see the end from the beginning.
The governor added that the Chief Akindele he knew was kindhearted and accessible, noting that he would be missed by a lot of people to whom he was a role model. He said people should emulate the late Akindele’s love for God and humanity which made him stand out, describing him as a great philanthropist and businessman who touched many lives positively.
