Sleep on beloved father till we meet to path no more.

EXIT OF AN ACCOMPLISHED COMMUNITY LEADER
What a shocking news. Oh, a sad news indeed. That, my dearly beloved Captain Olubolade had gone to be with the LORD, in the manner it happened.
I cannot really remember how our paths first crossed. Surprisingly, our paths never crossed while he was a student at the NMS, Zaria and I was then at St. Paul's College, Zaria. Our paths finally crossed during our Annual Temperance End of the Year Celebrations at Ipoti-Ekiti. He was always in attendance to honour the Club The Temperants were naturally bonded to him because we had a lot in common! Long and short of it was that we love our Country home, Ipoti-Ekiti more than anything else.
Captain Caleb Omoniyi OLUBOLADE went on to demonstrate his passion for his communities and neighbouring communities by actively demonstrating a keen interest in the development of the communities.
His level of interest and support for Ipoti Community was extraordinary!
Today, the legacies speak volume of great impact, our departing hero made on the entire community. These will not cease to speak!
The Community will not cease to remember our hero's family in our prayers. That they will remain strong in this moment of pain. That GOD will visit them with everlasting joy.
Adieu, my Captain, Adieu, our Community Light Bearer.

For the little time you spent as a governor of Bayelsa State, Ipoti knew that they got a son of influence. Good tree don’t last long in the forest. You will be forever missed Buoda Caleb. May the good Lord keep the family you left behind.
