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! 496 Likes 48 Shares |

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! 209 Likes 12 Shares |

Builder of Lagos. All the many low cost ‘Jakande’ estates around Lagos stand as a testament to your love for the masses. Despite being a governor of Lagos and a former minister of works there are no commercial ventures attached to your name. Sleep well sir. 128 Likes 6 Shares |

One of the best Governors Lagos ever had. Awo's true disciple. His structures (buildings and schools) are still in place in Lagos since the 80s till date. Rest in peace sir, it's a pity your acolytes went for self aggrandizement rather than service. 68 Likes 5 Shares |

These were governors who didn't divert the state resources into their own pocket. As a former governor, Jakande lived a modest life among his people. He didn't stash dollars in foreign bank accounts. Those days are forever gone. We all practice "Northern Politics" now! I pray for deliverace for this country Nigeria! 54 Likes 5 Shares |
