Okanlawon Commence Drilling of Borehole in Memory of His Late Grandfather

The founder of Olusegun Okanlawon Foundation (OOF) and candidate for federal house of representatives in Ibarapa Central/North federal constituency under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Engr. (Dr) David Olusegun Okanlawon today commenced the drilling of the first borehole out of nine he promised the people of Ibarapa.

In a statement which was made available to SpyGist Media by Olusegun Okanlawon, which reads in part;

“Today marks 18 years since my grandfather, Pa Emmanuel Ishola Okanlawon departed this world. Pa Okanlawon was an astute leader, philanthropist and community developer.

“In loving memory of his person and impact, I commenced the drilling of the first out of the nine (9) motorized boreholes I am drilling across Ibarapa today. This first borehole is being drilled in the Okanlawon family compound.

“Known for his impact and leadership acumen, Pa Okanlawon steered the affairs of Unity Party of Nigeria in the old Ifeloju Local Government area, which covered the entire Ibarapa land. He was a leader par excellence.

“Apart from having a landmark in the political corridor, he was a philanthropist. His philanthropic heart and gestures remain sterling in the memory of many people. He transmitted this virtue among others to myself and other members of his lineage. It is in lieu of this that I am happy to drill these boreholes in remembrance of him, honouring the numerous lessons, counsel, ideas and values that he instilled in me, his beloved inquisitive grandson.

May Grandpa continue to enjoy eternal rest in the bossom of the Lord.”

We miss you, grandpa!

Engr. Dr. David Olusegun Okanlawon.
