President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep condolences to Dr Tunji Olowolafe, the Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, and former Chairman of GZ Industries (GZI), over the death of his wife, Gbemisola.
Gbemisola, aged 63, died on March 11.
Tinubu, in a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, joined the Olowolafe family in mourning the loss of a cherished wife.
“The President joins the Olowolafe family in mourning a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and matriarch whose legacy of kindness and generosity will endure.
“President Tinubu pays tribute to Mrs Olowolafe’s life of compassion, charity and unwavering support for her family and all who were fortunate to have come in direct contact with her.
“In this period of grief, the President urges his long time friend, Dr Tunji Olowolafe, to find strength in the loving memories he shared with Gbemisola and the formidable family they built together,” the statement read.
The statement encouraged Olowolafe and his family to trust God’s divine comfort and eternal promise to mournful people.
“Death is a fate that will ultimately befall every individual. But for the people of faith, we are reminded that God will not abandon any of us when we close our eyes in perpetuity.
“May your lovely wife be ushered into the realm of eternal light, where darkness is forever banished,” it added.
The statement prayed for God’s grace and perfect peace on the Olowolafe family and for the peaceful repose of the departed’s soul. (NAN)
