There was never a visit to him that wouldn't end with a handshake and "thank you very much" from him. He had gratitude and he gave it. He was a gentleman, a fine gentleman.

Chief KOTUN
Chief A great man indeed.
I saw him briefly, not when he's in his physical best, but in the brevity of our meetings, I could tell this man has been a warrior, a fighter, not one that would back down so easily, Never say Never. In spite of the poor diagnosis, he maintained a positive confession & attitude all through. I also saw a special bonding between father and daughter, a daughter that would go all the way for her father even when everything looked dark and closed up. I pray for such child. I remembered when I asked him whether he's been to Akure, he answered with a strong voice. Continue to rest in peace Baba Sola. Adieu! I pray God give the family the fortitude and forbearance to bear this collosal loss. Ojo ajinaa si rawon o
