“Imam Ajisafe was one cleric who was imbued with profound knowledge of the scriptures, and had an aura shrouded in simplicity. He was an epitome of modesty.
“What was more spectacular about his nature is the manner in which he promoted religious harmony between Muslims and Christians, as evidenced by the peaceful co-existence of faithful of both beliefs in Oshogbo and other places in Yoruba land.
“My condolences go the Muslim Ummah in Yoruba land, the Osun State government, family and dependants of the late Chief Imam of Oshogbo. I also pray the almighty Allah grants his soul entry to Firdaus.”[eap_ad_3]
