Adieu papa!

Jakande's legacy still endure! In his time he gave us classrooms, he served us real food. His enemies termed the classrooms "poultry" but hey, we were forged in those humble huts, our destinies were molded. Today, we are men and women of intellect and rare substances because of your discretion and milk of kindness.

I remember in the early 80s while I was in pry 2 and 3. We had good teachers.

The syllabus was strictly adhered to. Education was so good.

Growing into adulthood, I later knew the Ajah road LCC recently upgraded was constructed by him.

The day I met you at the airport was a day I won't forget. Gentle and angelic. Our gaze met. I felt an immortal grace, and it left a mark. Thanks for giving us Lagos.

You already wrote your epitaph with celestial ink, on stones so precious.

Thank you Baba Kekere!

Beremx:
Rest In Peace Baba. The best Lagos State Governor. Your legacies in Lagos will continue to be appreciated.

Baba has done his own...an escaped from the mess at the right time.

he carries tha agbada well rolled up in his house.he was a great governor indeed.but put a mark on his own reputation by going along with abacha

That was a payback to Abiola and his treatment of Awolowo.

The Lagos of today is different from the Lagos of the early 80s. There were inconsistencies, interruptions and abandonment during the military era.

Jakande initiated the Metro line when it was easy to construct to spread to every part of Lagos to cater for future increments in Population. Now, we have congestion.

BABA KEKERE Your legacy live4ever RIP

TimeManager:
The man died with the most effective Governance template on Education, Civil service, transportation, low housing estate.etc. Jakande birthed a railway project which Buhari foolishly cancelled based on his shallow mindedness. Many years after, Buhari is back to implement a railway project with accompanying debt burden payable by all Nigerians.

Adieu Baba Kekere


Kiss the truth!

Comments from a stupid mind!

koning:
At a ripe old age of 91. RIP. Most of the 1979 set of governors are dead now. As far as i can remember only Jim Nwobodo is still alive.

Solomon Lar, Abubakar Rimi, the then governor of Benue state, all dead.


Jakande will be immortalized. The real Jagaban.

you are right o, of all 19, Nwobodo is the last man standing!!

May Allah in His infinity mercy grant baba kekere janat Fridaos

He left indelible mark on the marble. His legacy cannot not be matched, even to leaders yet to be born. He set the pace of development, of what Lagos is today. He was never ambitious. His goal for Lagos was selfless altruistic, and genuine. It will be hard to find your match today. Rest on patriot.

oh Jakande !
Rip Sir

Jakande Estates

May his soul Rest In Peace Amin.
