“I received the news of the death of Evangelist Bamidele Olumilua with shock and pray that the Almighty God would comfort those that he left behind. I pray that God would forgive the departed his sins and accept his soul."
Evangelist Olumilua was a reputed career diplomat who worked assiduously and served with utmost probity and distinction; and his passing has created a deep void within the political space as he will truly be missed.
His time as Former Governor of Old Ondo State, we saw a heightened period of cooperation between the state and the Federal Governments; that created several opportunities for the benefit of the State. I also wish to acknowledge the contributions of Late Olumilua as former Chairman of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission and Chancellor of the Ekiti State University (EKSU).
I reckon that these are tough times for the Olumilua Family and our State; and we will continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this time of deep sorrow."
Indeed, Ekiti has lost an illustrious son and a committed public servant. May his soul rest in perfect peace and may perpetual light shine upon him."
Signed:
Sen. Olubunmi Adetunmbi, Senator Representing Ekiti North Senatorial District, National Assembly, Abuja.
