General Adeyinka Adebayo was a nation builder, a nationalist, a pan-Nigerian unifier whose vision and total focus was the unity and the development of the Nigerian State.
Baba rose far above sectional and parochial interest. He was a warm hearted and loving soul whose defining vision was predicated on the greater glory of our nation.
In all things, Baba was a mediator and moderator whose reconciliatory fixity was much pronounced at the height of the Nigerian Civil War when he was the Military Governor of the Western Region.
Baba was genuine, honest, sincere, true to himself and his God. He was a man who haboured no grudges and nursed no disputes nor malice.
My condolences to Nike and Niyi and of course to Aunty whose task it is now to keep the illustrious family together. Baba did his best. He has now gone to rest in the bosom of our Lord.
– Chief Olabode George, CON
