The  family  of  the  First  Executive  Deputy  Governor  of  Lagos  State,  Late  Alhaji Rafiu Adeyefa Jafofo  is  set to mark the first year remembrance of their father after his exit.
Jafojo, who was an Awoist, political icon, and elder statesman, passed on at 80 years on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at his Ikeja, Lagos residence.
Speaking  ahead  of  the  celebration,  his  son,  Adewale, who  is  the  Chief  of  Staff  to  the  Speaker,  Lagos  State  House  of  Assembly, made known  that  the  occasion  would  be  organised  to  respect  the  memory  of  the late political icon, modest gentleman per excellence, a legend who had shown steadfastness to Awoism and the progressives bloc.
In his words, “we are celebrating one year remembrance of our dad. He and  Alhaji Lateef  Jakande  contributed  their  own  quota  to  the development of the state.”
He, however, included that, “Daddy was a progressive leader, a bridge builder, who demonstrated loyalty to his principals and followers while alive.”
Associates  and  friends  of  the  deceased  politician  will  join  his  family  for a remembrance service at Ikeja on Sunday, April 23, 2017.
