Adedapo Lam-Adesina, son of late former governor Lamidi Adesina, Friday evening visited the Gbagi home of Rahmon Azeez, who was killed when thugs, suspected to be men of the Park Management System on Wednesday at Iwo Road area of Ibadan North East local government, struck.
OYOINSIGHT.COM had reported how disagreement about parking space led to the killing of the Lead City graduate, with many people injured.
The former lawmaker, who represented Ibadan North East/South East federal constituency between 2015 and 2019, while consoling the deceased mum, explained that it was sad that the state is gradually sliding into anarchy.
He said that if not immediately curtailed, the state is moving ten years backward.
”This sad event affects us all. I may not know he deceased like that but I know Ahmed, his elder brother. The deceased was one of us, one of the brighter stars any state would be proud of. He didn’t say because the mum is well-to-do and sit down idling away. He was still ‘hustling’, doing businesses to excel.
“Ma, I received a call from a friend in Canada yesterday. It was his birthday and we got talking. He said the only birthday gift I can give him is to join others to ensure justice for the deceased. See, it is not about Rahmon alone. Let’s concede he is gone. Who knows who is next? I have always lived my life here. But we cannot thrive in an atmosphere where peace is elusive.
“It is enough. All of us must join hands together to ensure this is tackled. And this is also a lesson for us all. When it is time for election, let’s take our time before thumb-printing that ballot. It means a lot. Don’t vote for those who don’t have anything for you except violence. It is so sad,” the young politician lamented, asking the mum and the family to take heart.
He, however, called on Governor Seyi Makinde to ensure that justice is served, adding that any government that cannot guarantee security of lives and property has failed.
