Death should have spared my son –Falae

Former presidential candidate, Chief Olu
Falae who lost his son, Deji, commissioner
for culture and tourism in Ondo State in
the ill-fated Associated Aviation air
mishap has said death would have spared
his son and taken him away instead.
Falae muttered the name Deji
intermittently as sympathizers gathered
around him in his Oba-Ile residence, to
condole with him on the sad event.
While the sympathizers were also urging
him to take heart and take the incident
as an act of God, the bereaved former
secretary to the government of the
federation and finance minister described
his son’s death as a devastating calamity.
While responding to the sympathizers in
Yoruba, Falae said, “E se o, a o ni fi iru e
gba a o, meaning, “Thank you, it will not
be a reciprocal.”
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff to the state
governor, Dr. Kola Ademujimi has led the
state delegates to the families of three
other state government officials who died
in the crash.
The three others victims are: Bernard
Daji, Mrs. Elizabeth Alabi and Afolabi.
The state government has declared three
days fasting and praying mourning session
in the state in respect of the people that
lost their lives in the plane crash.
