I think he is the son of Aboderin the founder of Punch newspaper.
If I am correct,may his soul indeed RIP.
His dad left a great newspaper and he not only continued but took Punch a step further to being the most objective,most people oriented,most read and indeed best newspaper in Nigeria for the past several years.
That was a great person gone.
Just hope the next chairman of Punch would continue the great tradition.
