Exactly two years ago, January 21, 2020, the past executive chairman, Ikosi-isheri LCDA, Hon. (Engr.) Abdulfatai Ayodele Oyesanya bid the world farewell in active service to humanity.
He was a direct descendant of Balogun Odejayi Chieftaincy family, Ijebu-ode, Ogun State.
We cannot but reminisce with fond memories, his sterling qualities, viz: a devout muslim, loving husband, dutiful father, successful engineer and educationist, humble personality, courageous, philanthropist, loyal party stalwart, exemplary and compassionate political leader cum strategist, an orator per excellence, go-getter, and reliable team leader.
In his several years of eventful political career, he painstakingly groomed many, a party member, who eventually assumed various leadership positions in the ruling party and government, during his earthly sojourn and still ascending two years after his demise.
Oyesco laid an unprecedented indellible lagacies down as the Executive Chairman of Ikosi – Isheri LCDA while he was alive.
He initiated many laudable legacy projects, successfully completed and commissioned some while others were nearing completion.
They included but not limited to the following areas:
REVENUE GENERATION
INFRASTRUCTURES AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
EDUCATION
HEALTH
MASSIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMES
WELFARE PROGRAMMES FOR CIVIL SERVANTS
The history of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA and indeed the greater Kosofe cannot be complete without according a beffitting pride of place to the progenitor of OYESCO Political School Of Thoughts (OYESCOOLOGY), Late Hon. (Engr.) Abdulfatai Ayodele Oyesanya.
He is sorely missed by all but we take solace in the fact that he earned for himself Aljannah fridaus, the eternal abode of every pious muslim.
ADIEU OUR GREAT LEADER.
AARE BOBATOLU OF IKOSI KINGDOM
AARE BOBASEYE OF IDO EKITI.
Continue to rest in peace our LEADER.
Honourable Seyi Odufowokan
Former Chief Press Secretary to late Ikosi Isheri Lcda Chairman, Engr. Abdulfatai Oyesanya
