Comrade ‘Latunde was my dear Ègbòn, whom I saw last in February 2023 when we went to the bank with our cousin, cousin Sumade, to open the family account. He was the only one who was able to drive to the bank whilst cousin Sumade and I were brought by our drivers. He looked so healthy. so I was surprised when I heard he was taken to the US for medical treatment and subsequently passed on on the 10th of July 2023.
Comrade ‘Latunde was very caring. Growing up, I remember when he used to visit us at Oshodi, usually on Sunday after church service. He used to give me and Bode, my younger brother, money to buy Mirinda. It's so fond, remembering now how we always looked forward to seeing him on those Sundays.
He was strict and highly principled. I have never seen Comrade 'Latunde out of character, even when we disagreed a few times on family issues we always resolve them amicably.
Comrade ‘Latunde was the first vice president of the Agbe-Davies union. The family has lost a strong committed member and he will be highly missed.
My condolences to his dear wife, Mama Kayode, the children, grandchildren and the entire Agbe-Davies family. May God grant him eternal rest. Amen.
Kola Agbe-Davies.
