I received the news of the passing of the Chief Imam of Owo, Alhaji Aladesawe, with deep sadness. He was a revered cleric, a guiding light, and a spiritual leader whose life was dedicated to serving Allah and humanity.
Alhaji Aladesawe was more than a religious leader; he was a man of peace, wisdom, and compassion whose guidance strengthened the Owo Muslim community and whose teachings inspired countless lives. His departure is not only a painful loss to the Muslim Ummah in Owo but also to the entire Owo Kingdom.
As the Holy Qur’an reminds us:
“Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds — they will have the Gardens of al-Firdaus as a lodging. They will abide therein forever, never desiring from it any transfer.” (Qur’an 18:107-108). We take solace in the promise of Allah that faithful servants like Alhaji Aladesawe, who dedicated their lives to prayer, service, and community upliftment, will find eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus.
On behalf of myself and the good people of Owo Constituency 1, I extend heartfelt condolences to his family, the entire Owo Muslim Community, and indeed the people of Owo Kingdom. I pray that Almighty Allah grants the departed eternal rest, forgives his shortcomings, and strengthens his family and the Muslim Ummah to bear this irreplaceable loss.
May Alhaji Aladesawe’s noble legacy of faith and service continue to inspire us all.
