“However, we are consoled that the Speaker who was an epitome of humility and high intelligence lived an exemplary life. We are surely going to miss the Speaker who was patriotic and hardworking.”
They prayed God to grant members of the Oyo State House of Assembly, the good people of the state and his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
