Hatred for truth has been identified as a major factor responsible for the increase in the rate of societal problems bedeviling the country.
This was disclosed by a renowned Islamic scholar, Sheik Muhydeen Ajani Bello at the maiden edition of Ramadan Lecture organized by Adegoke Adelabu Foundation tagged “Living for the Truth” held at the ancestral compound of the late sage, Oke-Oluokun, Kudeti, in Ibadan.
Sheik Bello explained that benefits and fruits enjoyed by the politician’s children today were as a result of the greatness of Adegoke Adelabu on how he lived and died only staying by the truth. He argued that people do not have equal disposition about what truth stands for and when it should be exhibited.
He noted that truth is weightier than what philosophy alone could shoulder.
Sheik Bello commended the family for staying together to promote the good legacies left behind by the late sage, he, therefore, urged them to move more closer to Allah and be God fearing in every of their dealing in order not to derail from the foundation of truth he had laid.
