Tribute: Remembering Otunba ‘Lekan Abass, A Decade of Memories | By Alhaji ‘Sina Alabi
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the untimely passing of Otunba ‘Lekan Abass, a dear friend and pillar of our community. I vividly recall the fateful day in London when I received the devastating news alongside late Governor Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi, who had been eagerly awaiting your arrival.
The shock of your sudden demise left an unfillable void in our lives, but your legacy continues to inspire and uplift us. Your life was a testament to kindness, wisdom, and generosity, touching countless lives and leaving an indelible mark on our community.
Your impact was profound, and your memory remains imprinted in our hearts. I cherish the laughter-filled moments, wisdom-filled conversations, and ironclad support you provided. Your presence was a blessing to all who knew you.
To ‘Lekan’s family and loved ones, my heart goes out to you. May Allah continue to comfort and strengthen you as you are coping with his departure. May His divine guidance and solace be your rock, and may ‘Lekan’s legacy continue to inspire you.
As we remember him, let us honour his legacy by emulating his virtues and continuing his good work. His selflessness, compassion, and dedication to others serve as a shining example for us all.
Rest in peace, Otunba ‘Lekan Abass. Your memory will forever be engraved in our hearts. May Allah grant you Al-Jannah Firdaus.
Amin.

Alhaji ‘Sina Alabi,
