Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has condoled with the families of  the late legal icon, Gani Fawehinmi, whose son, Mohammed, died on Wednesday and a former General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Dr Wilson Badejo, who died last Sunday.

Osinbajo, who was in Lagos on Saturday, personally delivered his messages of condolence to both families.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘Osinbajo condoles with Revd. Badejo, Fawehinmi’s families.’

At the Yaba residence of the Badejos, the Vice President, who was received by Yinka Badejo, described the late cleric as “an exceptional man of God.”

He said Badejo was a promoter of the gospel who worked for both the physical and spiritual transformation of societies.

Speaking of him, Osinbajo said, “He was certainly a man of integrity, a man who served God with all his strength and a man who truly loved God and the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

At the Ikeja residence of the Fawehinmis, the Vice President met with the mother of Mohammed, Ganiyat Fawehinmi, and prayed for God’s comfort for her and the entire family.

He described the late Mohammed Fawehinmi as “one of us,” being a progressive and protector of the poor and less privileged, saying, “the late Mohammed continually identified himself with the progressives and did not diminish what concerned his father during his lifetime.”

“He continually maintained very serious advocacy for the poor and the less privileged,” he said.
