Mohammed stressed that the deceased saw his children.
He said: ”He left his footprints in the sand of time. He was not just a mere witness in the making of an independent Nigeria, he was an active participant.
”However, his greatest achievement, in my opinion, is the fact that he raised very successful children who, in their own rights, have also positively impacted Nigeria in their various fields of endeavour.
”That he lived long enough to see His Excellency, Gov. AbdulRahman
AbdulRazaq, elected and sworn in as the Executive Governor of Kwara
State, is no doubt the jewel in the crown of his incredible landmark achievements.”
