“Mama Ajarat Amoke Akinleye was a mother, not just to Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, but many of us, going by how she embraced and supported our goals in life,” the Governor noted in a condolence message.
“It is sad to note the implication of the vacuum her exit will create, particularly in terms of the moral support for my Chief of Staff, and personally to me, her wise counsel and guidance, which are mostly helpful.”

“As we mourn Mama Ajarat Amoke Akinleye, may I enjoin us all to celebrate her life of impacts and also honour her memory by continuing the work of touching lives for the better that defines her, and upholding the principle of a better society she exemplified while she was alive.
“It is my prayer that Allah subhanawatahallah be pleased with the soul of Mama Ajarat Akinleye soul and make Aljanah Fridaos her abode while hoping that everyone touched by her demise find the comfort to bear the vacuum of her irreparable loss.”
