Akinterinwa lauded the contributions of the deceased to the development of the tenets of democracy, particularly his untiring work and advocacy towards ensuring that the people enjoy the benefits of democracy.
“I am saddened by the death of the chairman of Ekiti APC. He was a dedicated and committed demorat, a strong party man and an advocate of popular programmes that aim to assist the people and the less-privileged.”
“His untiring and enduring works to the development of democracy speaks volume about his commitment to the people and their wellbeing.
“His death is a great loss of a dependable leader, political strategist and asset to the party, the state and the nation at large.”
