CONDOLENCE MESSAGE!!!

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee in the South West has commiserated with the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr Peter Ayodele Fayose on the death of Mrs. Moji Ladeji who passed on to the great beyond on Monday 21st September, 2020.

The sudden occurrence was shocking but our consolation is that the sister of the former governor Fayose lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation.

Mrs Ladeji, no doubt, was a totally GOD-fearing individual who was very humble, generous and kind to whoever that came in contact with her, in one way or the other.

Indeed, the deceased would be greatly missed not only by her family members alone but also people whom she had impacted positively while alive.

May GOD console one of our leaders in the Zone, governor Fayose, her immediate family and all her loved ones. May GOD grant her eternal rest and give her loved ones the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss, AMEN. 🙏

Our Condolences!

Signed:
Hon. Akintan Daisi
Zonal Secretary
