“I remember my dad today and always,” she said, adding: “Though he has gone to be with the Lord, but his impact since the day I was born till today will often remain with me, and my other siblings.

“I always cherish and will never forget all what he did for me, especially giving me education which he always says is our inheritance,” Folake added.

She also stressed: “I will for ever miss you dad. You are indeed a very good father that cared for all of his children.”
