“I want to urge every one of us whether rich or poor, high or low, to know that death is a price we all must pay one day.
“It is only our good deeds in this world that will pave the way for us to gain the desired eternal rest upon our demise,’’ Alalobo said.
Alhaji Luqman Owolewa, the incumbent chairman of the local government, described the late Adewumi as “a refined and forthright politician’’ who contributed to the development of the council and the state.
Adewumi is survived by his wife and children. (NAN)[eap_ad_4]
