Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has commiserated with the Adebayo family, the good people of Ekiti State, the Yoruba race and indeed the entire Nigerian nation over the death of General Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, former Governor of the defunct Western State.
Born on March 9, 1928, General Adebayo, who was the First Governor of the defunct Western State, died on Wednesday, a day to his 89th birthday.
Describing the death of General Adebayo as a “great loss to the nation,” the Ogun State Governor added that, “although he died at a ripe old age, General Adebayo’s experience and fatherly advise will be sorely missed.”
Governor Amosun added that the late General Adebayo will be fondly remembered for his unifying roles and effort across Nigeria and particularly in the southwest geo-political zone.
“He was a rallying point and one of the voices of reasoning in the Yoruba nation and indeed across the length and breadth of Nigeria,” Governor Amosun said.
