Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator Concerned
Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has warned politicians to fear God.
Bamgbose gave the warning in a reaction to the death of a
former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, a development he
described as “a very painful and a sad one.”
The senior lawyer, who prior to the death of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, declared that it would take serious
prayers for him to survive beyond July 7, 2020, said leaders must have it at
the back of their minds that death is inevitable.
In chat on Saturday morning, Bamgbose also
described the former lawmaker as one of the brightest politicians from the
South West, adding that, “The Yorubas have really lost a star, a gem, in fact
Nigeria as a whole.”
He added, “He died at a crucial time when his political
inputs would have been most needed. It’s really unfortunate to have lost an
illustrious son of his political calibre. He will be greatly missed. He was a
man to reckon with.
“I commiserate with the people of Oyo State and his
immediate family for the sad loss. Death is no doubt a necessary end. One will,
therefore, use this opportunity to warn our politicians to fear God.
“They should know that, they will give a full account of
their stewardship to their Creator after death. The Holy Bible made it clear
that, we came with nothing, and we shall leave with nothing.
“Our politicians should exhibit the fear of God in whatever
they do. They possibly can escape earthly judgment, but that of God, is
inescapable.
“They should eschew corruption because, it may seem to be
delightful, but at the end of the day, it will be disastrous. Nobody goes to
the grave with money. Service to the subjects should be their watchword.”
