Colleagues, relatives, friends and clerics filled the Life Fountain Cathedral of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti Province 1, on Wednesday, as a commendation service was held for one of the Ekiti State doctors who died in an auto accident on Sunday.
The emotional service was also attended by the deputy governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kolapo Olubunmi Olusola; the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Olurotimi Ojo; Head of Service, Dr Olugbenga Faseluka, as well as many other top government functionaries.
Olusola, who represented Governor Ayò Fayose at the service, charged the widow, Dr Bola Aladesanmi, as well as the children, to focus on God and remain steadfast with Him.
He extolled the virtues of the late surgeon, describing him as a “man of the people,” saying “God in His infinite wisdom Who allows certain things to happen knows the end from the beginning. The enemy has not succeeded.”
In his sermon, Pastor Stephen Omotayo of Ekiti Province 1 of the RCCG cautioned people against making derogatory remarks during sudden sad occurrence, saying “we should watch what we say when bad sudden things happen.”
Pastor Omotayo charged them to “focus on God, shut out people who would make you lose focus on God and your children and remember Job who didn’t succumb to the devil.”
President of Nigerian Medical Association, Dr Kayode Obembe, said Aladesanmi imparted positively on people that came across him.
He was represented at the church by the Ogun NMA Chairman, Dr Adenike Odewabi, who is also the South West coordinator.
He said, “Even though his life was short, it was impactable. We will defend the dream he lived for. We shall live with his principles and ideals. His memory will continue in our minds. He has lived a worthy life.”
