The clergyman who described Engineer Afowowe as a great community leader who united people during his lifetime tasked leaders to imbibe these virtues as these would make the society free of societal vices and chaos.
While describing their father as a good man, two of his children Mr Olugbenga Afowowe and Mrs Omolara Ayoade said they would sorely miss their father’s generosity and compassion.
