“Baba’s last most crucial political assignment on earth was marked with monumental electoral victories as he delivered House of Assembly seats, House of Representatives seats and Oyo Central Senatorial seat to APC. He hosted peaceful, fruitful and rancor-free APC meetings.

He was quite steadfast and dogged in defence of good governance and his death has robbed the progressive family of one of its eloquent defenders.”
