Like a doctor is to a patient, the Senator, fondly called “pepperito,” is to many current political office holders in Kosofe and Lagos East as several supporters took turns to pen down glowing tributes on the kingmaker.
Tinubu Support Group Diaspora Coordinator, Prince Bidemi Akintunde, Mayor Dele Osinowo of Agboyi Ketu, Mayoress of Ikosi Isheri, Samiat Bada, and Kosofe Constituency 1 lawmaker, Honourable Sanni Ganiu, were among his numerous loyalists who paid glowing tributes.
The senator represented Kosofe Constituency 1 for 4-consecutive terms, spending 16 years before being given the mandate to represent Lagos East. From his birth until his death, he chaired the Senate Committee on Industry and Commerce.
