"Legacies are undeniable phenomenon which become our lives when we are no more. On this note, I commiserate with all Ekiti Kete people, especially the Olowoporuku family on the death of our leader, a true son of Ekiti and a steadfast promoter of good governance.
As a former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Minister of Science and Technology, he exemplified a life worthy of emulation.


He was a leader Par excellence, a courageous fighter and one who believed in a justice driven system.


I join Ilawe town, our state and all Nigerians to mourn the glorious exit of a fellow compatriot in the journey of rebuilding our dear state. He will surely be missed.


God will comfort the family and associates with the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Amen
