The statement read:
“Time rolls into time and human beings dissolve into ordinary memory NOT to be felt in flesh ever again!
“His mirth, his wit, his talk, his walk, his vision, his outrage, his freedom fight: The face which carried it ALL now belongs to another realm
“Yet, his ideals etched on our collective consciousness challenge our resolve to walk the path of patriots…We shall!
“Once more, we are grateful to Almighty God who gave us a gem to own for a moment!
“We thank presidents, monarchs, governors, chieftains political, temporal and spiritual; family, friends, media & others too numerous to mention!

“It is by our pledge to ourselves and to ALL that what Yinka Odumakin died for shall live and thrive!
“Thanks, God bless!”
