But I must say that though we miss them, we shall surely meet once again to part no more.
“I have this special rendition to celebrate them, even, in ‘death’. I remember my father, Late Pa John Adedeji Ojo-Odesola (popularly called Booda Dedeji). He knew Christ. I also remember the wife of Hon. Remi Odetomi, who also went to be with the Lord.
“I can’t, in a hurry, forget Yemi Ojo, a fantastic guitarist; my ‘son’, Dare Sax and other respected people who surrounded me in the music industry.
“Each of them played brilliant roles in the music industry geared towards preaching the gospel of Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
“Above all, I want to remind you all that here seated that Jesus came and died for us to live. So, the dearly beloved, be prepared for His coming.”
