Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, his counterpart in Ogun, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and Wife of Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo yesterday led thousands of friends and well-wishers to pay last respect to late Deji Tinubu who passed on last Thursday.
At a well-attended lying in state and funeral service held at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Victoria Island in Lagos, tributes, eulogies and tears poured in freely for Tinubu, who until his demise was Ambode's Special Adviser on Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives.
Speaking at the service, Amosun described the late Deji as a man who had a deep passion for football and sports in general.
"The last time I saw Deji was when he came to identify with Segun Odegbami's 10th anniversary of his sports academy. Little did I know that Deji will answer the final call on January 25 which happen to be my birthday.
Deji was full of life and had a deep passion for football."
Mrs. Osinbajo, who prayed for the family of the deceased, urged them to take comfort in God.
Dignitaries at the service include Aliko Dangote, former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, among others.
