“He would always call a spade a spade and would not mind whose ox is gored. Despite the political differences between me and his son, Otunba Niyi, he was forthright in commending our efforts at developing the state, even though we are among the least financially buoyant. He would not allow
sentiments to sway his sense of judgment and was a true father to all.
“He was a leader Ekiti people would remember for helping to open up the state when he served as the Military Governor of the old Western State. His efforts led to the establishment of hospitals in major towns, the setting up of the Odua Textile Factory among others.
“He will be sorely missed by Ekiti people and Nigerians in general, but we are consoled that he was fulfilled in life and lived up to old age. The good people of Ekiti State sympathize with his immediate family,” he said.
