Hon. Babatunde’s heartfelt tribute resonated deeply, reinforcing the enduring impact of Barrister Jaye Alabi's contributions to Ejigbo LCDA and the lasting influence he had on the life and career of "The Seed."
Hon. Babatude wrote, "It’s been seven years since we lost a rare gem, a leader, a mentor, and a political father—Barrister Jaye Alabi, the former Executive Secretary of Ejigbo LCDA.
Barrister Alabi was more than just a political figure; he was a pillar of support who stood by me during difficult times. When the road was rough, he never wavered. He made sacrifices to see me grow and succeed politically, offering guidance, encouragement, and unwavering belief in my potential.
I wish he was alive today to witness the massive growth in my life, growth that he had already professed long before I even discovered myself. He saw the greatness in me before I could see it myself, and for that, I will always be grateful.
His leadership was one of selflessness and dedication. He was a man who cared deeply about the development of Ejigbo and its people, always working towards progress and good governance. His impact on my life and many others will never be forgotten.
Seven years may have passed, but his legacy lives on. His wisdom, his kindness, and his commitment to service continue to inspire me every day.
May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace".
