In a heartfelt tribute, the distinguished senator representing Ogun East and former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Engr. Gbenga Daniel, has mourn the passing of a prominent politician, Alhajo Sule Onabiyi.
Otunba Daniel fondly recalled the events of the 2003 governorship elections, a period filled with intense activities and passionate campaigns.
This significant era saw the presence of numerous political heavyweights, and one prominent figure who stood out during that time was Alhaji Sule Onabiyi, affectionately known as “Baba Adini.”
As a veil of sorrow descends upon the diminishing ranks of the political Musketeers, Senator Daniel reflected on the exceptional leadership provided by Alhaji Onabiyi and his contemporaries during that chapter of history.

Senator Gbenga Daniel shared his thoughts, saying, “The 2003 governorship elections and the campaign build-ups were filled with events and activities. It was an era marked by the presence of many political gladiators, and Alhaji Sule Onabiyi, whom we affectionately called ‘Baba Adini,’ was one of them.
“As the dark cloud veils the last of the Musketeers, I can only look back with fond memories of the leadership provided by Alhaji Onabiyi and his peers during those years. My family and I will miss him deeply as we pray for his soul to rest eternally with his Maker.
“My heart goes out to the family and associates he left behind.”
