Adewale Tinubu: A Shoulder to Lean On
There is a popular saying that ‘kindness is like snow that beautifies everything it covers.’
Oando Group Chief Executive, Adewale Tinubu, is one man who has the milk of kindness literally running in his veins. He does this without seeking attention. He believes in surreptitiously touching the lives of the less privileged without making a noise about it.
Those who benefited from his large heart would not stop to sing his praises to high heaven, as they continued to describe him as a beacon of hope and kindness.
The unassuming businessman has always made it a point of duty annually to lend support and give the Muslim faithful a shoulder to lean on during the Ramadan season, while he never spares any cost to ensure he puts a smile on the faces of the people.
He has thus become a bellwether in the acts of generosity to these sets of people. He sees sharing love with them as a sacred devotion.
As gathered by Society Watch, last Sunday, March 17, 2024, the trained lawyer once again showcased his sense of magnanimity at the annual late Kafaru Oluwole Tinubu Memorial Ramadan lecture, organised by the family.
The event brought together conscious Muslim faithful in and outside Lagos State to be fed with spiritual diets during this year’s memorial Ramadan lecture at the popular De Blue Roof, LTV, Ikeja, Lagos. The event was organised in honour of the late police boss to take the Muslim faithful on a voyage around the blessings of Ramadan in a convivial environment.
Top Islamic scholars, including Isiaq Oloyede, Jubril Salaudeen, and Dr. Mustapha Bello kept the audience on the edge of their seats, as they took turns to engage them during their brilliant presentations, which were peppered with copious quotes from the holy Quran, as well as Hadith, the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammed, SAW.
As revealed, the event was indeed, one moment that gave not a few in the audience the opportunity to see the oil magnate as someone who has not abandoned his religious obligations in the quest for wealth.
