In the early hours of Saturday, December 5, 2020, our patriarch Chief Harry Ayodele Akande passed away following a brief illness.
Chief Harry Akande was an astute businessman of international repute whose legacy and influence cut across continents.
But by far his greatest passion was for a better Nigeria that guaranteed equity and justice for all. It is our fervent hope that this will be a reality in the not too distant future.
His passing is a huge shock to his immediate and extended family, friends and associates. We are all grappling to make some sense of it.
As we seek the repose of his gentle soul, we ask you to in turn uphold us in your prayers while we pass through this very turbulent period of our lives occasioned by the loss of someone as dear as him.
Thank you''.

May his soul rip
ReplyDeleteAwww.. may his soul rest in peace. Ibadan will stand still for his burial.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Ibadan, in short,the whole Oyo state that has been abandoned and left to decay will stand still for the burial of one of our looters
DeleteYou just talk because you feel like talking. He was never in government. He wasn't a government contractor, Not all politicians have access to government money. He made most of his money while living in the states. Please, try to be well informed about any particular issue before commenting.
DeleteMr. Alexander, you lied... I know more than you think I know.
DeleteHaaa!!!... nawao Ms A!!!!
DeleteMs A you just like talking rubbish, which of the Ibadan are you referring to as decayed. Come to the city and see, you people will just sit and be commenting rubbish. You talk too carelessly.#spotremover#
DeleteAwww.. may his soul rest in peace. Ibadan will stand still for his burial.

ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteOne of those that empty our treasury.
I remember the year that the most corrupt politicians and looters list was released by international bodies, his name was numero Uno on it... He was the richest man in Nigeria then.
Oga Obasanjo, one of those he transferred Nigerian wealth to.
Meanwhile the people he stole from will be celebrating him and his family...
DeleteHe is finally been judged wherever he ended up.
Buhari and all the your fellow thieves will join you soon to keep your company.
You lied, his name was not in any corrupt list . Please name the international bodies that brought out the list and the year. Anxiously waiting for you to do this. I don't know him on a personal level. He contested the presidential primaries of App twice. He was not a minister, he was not a member of any board. He wasn't even an adviser. So how on earth did he have access to our commonwealth. He was not a government contractor. For you anybody who is described as a politician is a thief.
DeleteAlexander you go wait for that name tire o. Its better you jump and pass a lot of the gibberish she types for your own sanity
DeleteMrs A he was not part of that list,i put the link to the Newspaper article,dont know why Stella didnt post. I think it was from 2001,they said he was richer than those on the looting list.
DeleteThis man is late,lets be careful how we just insult and throw abt words. Have some respect for the dead atleast.
Last i checked he was not in Govt. He may have gotten Govt contracts, dat im not sure dou. SHALOM
He was a government contractor for years!
DeleteRip sir
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace and may his loved ones be comforted. Amen.
