This is a very sad news. Not because he died, but because Tunji is one of the very few truthful Nigerians who didnt leave to see the Nigeria of their dream.

Now one more Nigerian who had a great vision but was never allowed to promote it is dead.
What else for us?

As i think about this great man‘s death, i also think about mine.
Will i ever live to see my dream Nigeria?
Will i leave to see a Nigeria where government will not exploit people through politicians?
Will i be alive to see a Nigeria where corrupt people will not be witch hunting others claiming they are fighting corruption?
Will i live to see a Nigeria here corruption would be brought to the lowest %?
Will i live long enough to see a Nigeria where politicians will think of how to improve the worth of the people other than upgrading the politicians social & financial status?

Tunji we will miss you so much in 2018. You will no more be there to speak without fear or favour.

Safe journey great man...

The years you spent here in Nigeria, will forever speak for u...

May God comfort your family, friends, party members & the entire CLEAN plitical family members.
