My dear Sege,
I’m still grappling with the reality of your passing. It’s surreal, and the pain feels insurmountable. Yet, I’m reminded of the bravery you showed in the face of adversity. You were a beacon of strength, and your courage inspires me still.
Almost 40 years of friendship, of brotherhood, of shared laughter and tears – it’s a legacy I’ll cherish forever. We did life together, and every step was easier with you by my side. From our carefree bachelor days to building families, we’ve been through it all. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion touched countless lives, including mine.
Your service to our country was impactful, and your legacy will live on. I’ll always remember our family holidays – the UK, US, South Africa, Paris… the laughter, the memories, the inside jokes. You were more than a friend; you were family. My brother, the late Ambassador Gbenga Ashiru (may God bless his soul), was especially close to you, and I’m grateful for the bond you shared.
As godfather to your son Segun Jr. and you to my son Abimbola Jr., our families are forever linked. I recall the moments we fought to keep you with us, the tears we shed together. Seeing you last Tuesday, I had no idea it’d be our last goodbye. November 20th is etched in my heart as a day of unimaginable loss.
To your loving wife, Adebola, and children Seun, Toye, Yimika, Dotun, and Segun Jr., I offer my deepest condolences. To Mummy Ikoyi, your pain is mine, and I’ll carry the memory of your reaction forever. To the your brothers and sisters extended families The Awolowo and Fowora families we mourn together.
Sege, your loss is irreparable, but your impact is eternal. Adebola, thank you for loving and caring for him unconditionally. We will miss him, but his kindness, service, and love will live on.
Kemi, Rolake, Bimbola, and I will forever treasure our memories with you, Sege. Adieu, my brother, my friend. May you rest in God’s loving arms, and may He comfort those you left behind.
