Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose on Saturday paid a condolence visit to the Ikeja residence of the former military governor of the defunct Western Region, Late Major-General Robert Adeyinka Adebayo

Accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Barr. Dipo Anisulowo who is also an in-law of the Adebayo's, the duo was welcomed to the residence by a son of the former military governor and first democratically elected governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo.

Governor Fayose in his remarks said though the state is not mourning the late leader, his demise will be greatly missed for what he represents.

"We are only to take cue and lessons from his life and we pray that the legacies he left behind will be sustained. This is not a departure for sorrow but a departure we'll all miss. We are here to condole with ourselves, Baba lived a very good life.

Fayose added that the late leader would be given a state burial.

"I was cracking joke with Otunba Adebayo, I said this(Baba's burial) is not an APC affair, it is our affair, if you take it to APC, I will pull it back and take it to PDP. Baba represented all of us. I have written letters to my colleague governors, I don't think this is the business of the family, to the best of my understanding, I believe it is a state burial, it is a state burial.

"I think this is an issue for the south west governors and other constituencies Baba represents, as soon as the committees are formed, we'll be well represented, I will communicate with my colleagues, we'll do that promptly and in line with workings of the family to make a success of the burial".

Assuring the Adebayo family that he and the good people of Ekiti State share this moment with them, governor Fayose congratulated Otunba Adebayo for being alive to be part of the event.
