Adebanjo died at his residence in Idowa, in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State on Thursday at about 1.35pm at the age of 83.

While commiserating with the family at the late statesman residence, Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, described Adebanjo as a selfless leader and a pillar, which the progressive party was built on.

The governor said Adebanjo left a great legacy of true progressive behind by contributing to the growth of the state and the country.

Amosun also said he was happy that Adebanjo's dream of having a progressive man rule the country came to pass before his demise with the victory of President-lect, Muhammadu Buhari.

The governor promised the late Adebanjo's widow, Joanna, that the state would ensure Adebanjo got a befitting burial worthy of a statesman.
