THE PASSING OF SHEIKH ALADESAWE

It is with deep sorrow that we received the news of the passing of Sheikh (Dr.) Imam Alhaji Mayor Ahmad Olagoke Aladesawe, the Chief Imam of Owo, who until his demise at the age of 91 served as the Chairman of the League of Imams and Alfas in Ondo State, as well as the League’s Secretary-General in the Southwest, Edo, and Delta States.

The late Sheikh Aladesawe was a revered cleric, a spiritual guide of uncommon wisdom, and a source of inspiration to the Muslim Ummah and the larger society.

His life was dedicated to the service of Allah (SWT) and humanity, and he will be fondly remembered for his unwavering commitment to peace, unity, and moral guidance.

On behalf of the Government and people of Ondo State, I extend heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the Muslim Ummah, and the entire people of Owo.

Though we mourn his departure, we take solace in the fact that he lived a fulfilled life of faith, knowledge, and impact.

We pray Almighty Allah (SWT) to forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannah Firdaus, and grant comfort to all who mourn this great loss.

Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa,
Governor, Ondo State.
