Alhaji Lateef Logunleko (Late) An Engine Room of Courage And A Radical Political Icon. Iconically Missed.

Late Alhaji Lateef
By Tenibi Samuel

Years back when I was in Akure, as one of the active chief Admins of FALEKE RESCUE MISSION, a platform created my Leader Brass,  I noticed that someone posted something in the platform, maybe excess pictures or something like that and I immediately raised my hammer of caution. Woww, it was Alhaji Lateef, I didn't know who is who not until I began to receive private messages about who I just cautioned. I began to ask myself, who is this man? Oh, is that how powerful he is? I immediately dialed his number and apologized. Through this development I knew that Alhaji Lateef (Late) was a political colossus who own the political structures of Iyamoye. Since then, I heard people talking about how nice he was. I even heard some people telling me that he could help my career then.

Now at Omorewo's villa, immediately I entered the compound for Birthday get together maybe 2017 or something like that, I saw men in agbadas perhaps in white color with a cap boldly written the F that formulates the FALEKE in our principal's name. Someone mentioned my name immediately and I was called to move forward, I was introduced to Alhaji and he embraced me, I apologized again and he said the issue was gone long before now. What made me to remember this day in particular is Alhaji Lateef made me to sit in the company that of men, when I said men, I mean MEN, he went and brought plastic chair himself of which I took from him. He offered me (itowo they were eating that day) I felt relaxed and honored by this.

Being a political juggernaut, during our sojourn in ADC I was relaxed that he was going to hold Iyamoye for us not until I heard of his illness.

No doubt, I great man had deceased, a repository of courage, a tough and radical loyalist of JaF had gone.

Let's do good not because of today but because of tomorrow.

May the soul of the deceased person find eternal rest.

To His Excellency, accept my condolence sir. To the people of KPC, may the goof God give us the fortitude to bear this great loss of a great icon.

Permit me to say, *Alhaji Lateef Logunleko* Live On  ✌🏼
