Dapo Abiodun, The Governor of Ogun State, has expressed that his father, Emmanuel Abiodun before his death had advised him to respect the civil servants, pay them regularly and ensure that pensioners get their gratuities.
Abiodun described the demise of his father as “painful and a great loss to him and his family.”
He revealed that he broke down in tears when he received the news of the death of his father.

Abiodun, who just came back from abroad, disclosed this when he received Remo traditional rulers, members of Ijebu-Remo Unity Forum, Labour Union leaders, NANS leadership, and other prominent personalities during a condolence visit to his Family House in Iperu-Remo.
