Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and son of the late MKO Abiola, Kola, on Monday, 23rd June, 2014 paid condolence visits to the family of the late Abdul-Azeez Arisekola-Alao, who died on the 18th of June, 2014.
In his tribute, Tambuwal described the late Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, who died at 69 in his London home as a sincere person who was always confident to defend what he believed in.
He said, “Arisekola-Alao is a very sincere person and genuine in whatever he did and lived a pious life. He has lived a good and simple life; a life of being there for all and not for himself and his immediate family. We will surely miss him.”
While commenting on Arisekola’s death, Atiku said the Muslim leader lived a life worthy of emulation. “Arisekola has created a vacuum that would be difficult to fill. I pray that Allah grant him the highest place in paradise,” he said.
Kola Abiola said the late billionaire lived a purposeful life, calling on Nigerians to uphold the legacy he left behind.
Son of the deceased Isa, who spoke on behalf of the family, thanked the visitors for their concern for the family.
