A former gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe and his wife, Mrs. Abimbola Tegbe, has described a former Attorney General of the federation, Late Chief Richard Akinjide as a professional in every sense.
In a statement signed by the APC politician and his wife, they described Richard Akinjide, who was a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, as a very dear father, mentor and role model who was humble, kind and always had a listening ear.
The stressed further that the news of his death came as a rude shock to them because the late elder statesman played an important role in their union which started on the day he chaired their wedding ceremony in December 1995.
They wrote: “He was a professional in every sense of the word. A true believer in the rule of law, his intelligence and thoroughness set him apart amidst his peers. He will surely be missed in the Nigerian Legal System.
‘We thank God for giving Papa Akinjide the opportunity to make clear-cut impacts during his well-spent time on earth. I pray that his legacy will not dwindle and that The Good Lord will grant him eternal rest.”
They also thanked God for giving the late Ibadan-born legal luminary the opportunity to make clear-cut impacts during his well-spent time on earth and prayed that the Good Lord will grant him eternal rest.
