Gov. Seyi Makinde on Sunday revealed that his late father was the only person who could look him in the eyes and tell him the truth, even when he didn’t want to hear it.
Makinde said this at the 14th memorial service held in honour of his late father, Pa Olatunbosun Makinde, at the Cathedral of St Peter, Aremo, on Sunday in Ibadan.
The governor, who described his late father as a candid adviser, close friend and companion, said he still misses his guidance.
In his sermon, the Bishop of Ibadan North Diocese, Rev. Williams Aladekugbe, described the late Olatunbosun Makinde as a devoted Christian who dedicated his life to serving God, the Church, and the community.
Aladekugbe noted that the deceased was a committed member of the Cathedral of St Peter, Aremo, throughout his lifetime.
