A leading gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK), has expressed deep sorrow over the death of renowned philanthropist and business icon, Alhaji (Chief) Abdul-Lameed Ajadi.
In a heartfelt condolence message released on Saturday, Dr. Kareem described the late Alhaji Ajadi as a devout Muslim, a tireless community builder, and a beacon of generosity whose legacy will endure for generations.
“His departure leaves a significant void among us,” Dr. Kareem said, “but his legacy of kindness, generosity, and strong faith will forever inspire us.”
Alhaji Ajadi, known for his far-reaching philanthropic activities, was lauded by Dr. Kareem for dedicating his life to the upliftment of others—supporting the less privileged, fostering unity, and quietly transforming lives across Oyo State and beyond.
“As a business leader, he showcased brilliance and resilience, creating opportunities that boosted our local economy,” Kareem added. “His commitment to faith and community service was profound, and his life served as a guiding light to many.”
Reflecting on Ajadi’s quiet but powerful impact, Dr. Kareem urged the public to embrace the late philanthropist’s values—love, hard work, unity, and a heart for humanity.
“Alhaji Ajadi was one of those unseen heroes whose works speak louder than words. His generosity touched schools, mosques, and countless homes,” he said. “Personally, I am inspired by how he combined entrepreneurial excellence with a deep sense of compassion—qualities I strive to reflect in my own service to the people.”
Dr. Kareem extended his condolences to the Ajadi family and the wider Oyo State community, praying for strength and comfort in this time of mourning.
“As we bid farewell to this great man, let us honour his memory by committing to the growth and well-being of our state. May Allah grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus and may his legacy of goodwill continue to inspire us all.”
Alhaji (Chief) Abdul-Lameed Ajadi’s death marks the loss of a pillar in both business and humanitarian circles in Oyo State, but his enduring legacy promises to continue shaping lives and communities.
