A former Ogun State Governor, Chief Olusegun Osoba has mourned first civilian governor of Lagos state, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, who passed away on Thursday. In a statement he signed on Thursday, Osoba likened Jakande’s passage to the fall of “an Iroko tree as well as an elephant,” saying he left giant footprints behind. Jakande, who also served as a former Minister of Works under the military junta of late General Sani Abacha, died on Thursday at the age of 91. Citing his remarkable achievements in journalism and government, Osoba said Jakande “will be remembered in history as a personification of the best in journalism and as a political colossus.”
