The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has mourned the passing of renowned journalist Miss Taiwo Kekereekun, describing her loss as devastating and painful.
The Governor acknowledged Miss Kekereekun’s contributions to enriching the field of journalism, particularly in the broadcast segment, where she enlightened audiences with truthful information.
He commiserated with the management of Fresh FM Osogbo, the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), and Miss Kekereekun’s immediate family on her demise, noting that she was one of the brightest voices on the radio in the state.
While noting her dedication to the tenets of journalism during her lifetime, Governor Adeleke said the departure of Miss Kekereekun would be deeply felt by her large audience, who valued her insightful views on topical issues.
“My condolences to the management of Fresh FM, Osogbo, and NAWOJ Osun on the loss of one of their own, Miss Taiwo Kekereekun. Miss Kekereekun was a highly principled and committed journalist who prioritized truth and a balanced position in her presentations,” the Governor’s condolence message reads in part.
“Her demise is a huge loss, and I join in mourning her,” he added. “As much as we grieve her passing, may I urge her immediate family and loved ones to take solace in the fact that although her time here was short, she made a significant impact that society will feel.”
“May God Almighty be pleased with her soul and grant her eternal rest. It is my fervent hope that everyone touched by Miss Kekereekun’s passing finds comfort in the many lives she impacted.”
Additionally, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola CON, has sympathized with the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Osun State chapter, over the sudden demise of their colleague, the late Taiwo Kekereekun.
The late journalist was the presenter of the popular children’s program ‘Kerere Akin’ on Fresh FM, Osogbo.
Oyetola expressed his heartfelt condolences to the deceased’s family members and the Fresh FM family as well.
“The news of her death came as a rude shock to me. Truly, death is inevitable, but I want us to take solace in the fact that she lived well. At this trying time, I pray that God grants you all the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. I also pray that God grants her soul eternal rest,” Oyetola said.
However, the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Osun State Chapter, has declared three days of mourning for the departed broadcaster.
