Hon. Mafe, a former Majority Leader of the Ogun State House of Assembly, died yesterday while celebrating his 46th birthday.
Akinlade, who is yet to come to terms with the passing of Mafe, said, “until his demise, he was a loyal, trusted, dependable and dogged ally of Hon. Adekunle Akinlade and Senator Ibikunle Amosun political family in Ogun.”

In a statement released by his Spokesperson, Akinlade said, “Words failed me in expressing the shock I felt when the news broke that Asiwaju Yinka Mafe was dead. He was our friend, our brother and a very loyal ally in our political sojourn”.

“K’átó r’érin ó digbó, k’átó r’ẹ́fọ̀n ó dọ̀dàn. This is really an irreparable loss and it breaks my heart that we’re mourning this great leader, friend and brother at his prime.”


Akinlade prayed God to be with the families and friends Mafe left behind; saying “may God grant them the fortitude to bear the colossal and irreparable loss.

“Rest in Peace Asiwaju Yinka Mafe, you’re forever in our hearts.”
