Ologunagba described the deceased as a humble, exceptionally brilliant and highly ingenious professional.

He said that as a committed patriot, the deceased dedicated his life towards the progress and development of Oyo State and Nigeria.

“Makinde was a courageous and forthright gentleman, full of vision, realistic ideas, practical solutions and lived as a dependable pillar of support and counsellor to his brother, Seyi Makinde, in his service to the people of Oyo State and our dear fatherland.

“It is indeed devastating that Sunday Makinde left the stage at this trying time in the history of our nation when his skills and wealth of experience are needed the most,” he said.

Ologunagba said that the PDP’s prayers and thoughts were with Gov. Makinde, the widow of Sunday Makinde and the entire Makinde family.

He also said the party was with the government and the people of Oyo State at this moment of grief.

He prayed the Almighty God to grant peaceful repose to Sunday Makinde’s soul and fortitude to Gov. Makinde and the entire Makinde family to bear the loss.
