Meanwhile, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Alhaji Abdullahi Yaman Shuiabu, has commiserated with the people of Kwara State over the death of the first military governor of the state, Brig. Gen. David Bamigboye (rtd).

His condolence message reads below

Kwara State has lost another great gem who fought for the unity and progress of the state from infancy as the doyen military governor.”
“The late Bamigboye’s name is synonymous to Kwara State due to the unquantifiable roles he played which eventually led to the creation of Kwara State among other states in 1967. His roles in the Nigerian Civil War as well as the post civil war reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation strategies implementation shall not be forgotten too soon during the General Yakubu Gowon-led military government in Nigeria.”
