Governor Seyi Makinde expressed during the 14th memorial service for his late father, Pa Olatunbosun Makinde, that his father was the only person who could honestly speak to him, even when he did not wish to hear the truth. The event took place at the Cathedral of St Peter, Aremo, in Ibadan. Makinde described his father as a candid adviser, close friend, and companion, and stated that he continues to miss his guidance. In his sermon, Bishop Williams Aladekugbe praised the late Olatunbosun Makinde as a devoted Christian who lived a life of faith and service to God, the Church, and the community. He encouraged others to follow this example and also congratulated Governor Makinde on the recent rescue of abducted teachers and students from Oriire Local Government Area. Additionally, the bishop acknowledged the peaceful environment under Makinde's leadership over the past seven years and emphasized that the governor's political future depends on divine will. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Makinde, along with his senior brother, paid respects at the graves of his late parents.
