Diya: A devastating loss to us in Odogbolu LG, Nigeria-Ayoola

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ayoola described the passage of the Odogbolu-born late military tactician as no doubt a quantum loss to Ogun State and Nigeria in general given his selflessness and contributions towards the development of the country.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress said that Diya who was the Military governor of Ogun State between February 1984 to August 1985 was another soldier-elder statesman who at different times was involved in peace keeping efforts in Liberia and Sierra Leone and to a large extent helped in stabilizing peace in Africa continent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While mourning this late military boss, Ayoola said “General Diya was a distinguished military officer who served Nigeria with honour and distinction. His passage at a time we least expected is a great loss to us in Odogbolu, Nigeria, and the world at large.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“In this tribute, I will reflect on his life, his achievements, and his legacy.  General Diya was born on April 3, 1944, in Odogbolu, Ogun State, Nigeria. He joined the Nigerian Army in 1964 and rose through the ranks to become a Major General. He served in various capacities, including as the Chief of Defense Staff, Chief of Army Staff, and Chief of Staff, at Supreme Headquarters. He was the defacto Vice President to Late Gen Sanni Abacha until his lock up by Abacha for the trumped charges of the military coup of 1995

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“General Diya was a courageous and dedicated soldier who fought for the unity and progress of Nigeria. He played a key role in the country’s peacekeeping efforts in Liberia and Sierra Leone, where he helped to restore peace and stability to those countries. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“He was also instrumental in the successful transition from military to civilian rule in Nigeria in 1999.  General Diya was a man of integrity and honour. He was known for his honesty, humility, and selflessness. He was in a class of his own. I hereby commiserate with the people of Odogbolu, most especially, Diya’s family as well as the entire Ogun State and Nigeria on the demise of this patriotic Nigerian. May God give us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss”.

It is essential to illustrate, without resorting to sensationalism or witch-hunts, the intimate and cordial relationship between celebrated World Televangelist Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly referred to as Genesis, and a proactive, renewed Abuja-based lawyer and human rights activist, Oluwapelumi Jacob Olajengbesi

 

 

Evidently, this positions everyone to believe any assertion Prophet Oladele makes about Olajengbesi. As the well-known Lagos prophet briefed the media in Lagos, he spoke about what attracted him to the Abuja-based lawyer and human rights activist.

 

 

He further expressed that his passion for championing the cause of the less privileged and the oppressed is what truly captivates and inspires his unwavering love.

 

According to Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi earns his enduring respect and admiration for prioritizing the plight of the oppressed, despite being born into affluent circumstances with humble beginnings.

 

 

Olajengbesi reportedly embarked on studying law at a prestigious university, driven by his desire to challenge oppressors and individuals who wield significant power in the country, believing themselves to be above challenge.

 

 

In addition, Prophet Genesis extols the virtues of the esteemed Barrister Olajengbesi, who views himself as an advocate for the voiceless populace and a crusader for the authentic liberation of the people.

 

In addition to his praise, Prophet Genesis values his love for God and humanity, and also extended congratulations to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi, co-founder of Law Corridor, a law firm based in Abuja, on the launch of his new multi-millionaira chambers

He concluded by saying a heartfelt prayer that Barrister Pelumi will continue to grow and have a greater impact in Jesus’ name.
