ACBC EXTENDS DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO MR ỌLÁLÉKAN OLUJOBI OVER MOTHER’S DEATH.

 ACBC EXTENDS DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO MR ỌLÁLÉKAN OLUJOBI OVER MOTHER’S DEATH.

Our Dear Battalion Chairman

Mr Ọlálékan Olujobi (CAPT)

It is with deep heartfelt that we commiserate with you and your family on the demise of your mother.

The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on her loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that hers indeed was a life well-lived.

The Patrons, Patronesses, Ranks and Files of Abeokuta Central Battalion Council, Ogun State Nigeria wants you to know that life is a stage where people are mere actors, each comes and goes after his or her own part.

 

Your Mother, the Octogenarian have acted well and left the stage with the loudest ovation. 

 She had fought a good fight, She won the race.

Accept our Sympathy Sir!

We will fight for laurels
That will never fade;
