Information reaching us from a reliable source avers that the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Economic Matters, Mr Ayoleke O. Adu has 'kicked the bucket'.
According to our source, Mr Adu died last week Saturday after a brief illness and he was aged 44.
Corroborating the story was Mr Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity
to the Vice President.
Mr Laolu who in a press release from the Vice President's Office is quoted as saying that:
"May his (Adu's) soul rest in peace Amen. With heavy hearts, we regret to announce the untimely passage of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Economic Matters, Mr. Ayoleke O. Adu. He was aged 44.
Adu, a diligent economic professional and Certified Financial Analyst, CFA, passed on last week Saturday after a period of illness.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, on behalf of the President and himself condoles with his wife, children, mother and the entire family.
He prays that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. Before he joined the Buhari presidency last year, Adu was the Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Capital Securities Ltd, a leading investment firm with headquarters in Lagos.
As a member of the President's Economic Management Team and a presidential aide deployed to the Office of the Vice President, Adu would be remembered as a patriotic, forthright, creative and astute professional.
He will indeed be sorely missed. Burial arrangements will be announced later."
We commiserate with the families of the deceased as we pray God to grant his soul eternal rest in the lords bosom.
