Great man, rare specie and one of the finest politician of Yoruba extraction. What a loss Serubawon. He was the favorite for the 2018 governorship contest. Rip Asiwaju of Ede, you will be sorely missed.
He was a listener, a community leader, he made a lot of people have a source of livelihood, he built institutions and people, he was a politician with finesse and a Ọmọlúwàbí for that matter. At 62 he became the father of all in osun state, never played politics of bitterness and any random person could have access to him, and rarely will you leave without a smile, he knew everyone by first name. It's a rude shock for us in osun and a sad day for us.

All these politicians are always spending taxpayers monies to attend other countries institutions without bringing positive governance to the people.

What will happen to his foreign accounts now he's gone

For those in government alive today, make positive laws that people will appreciate you for when are gone to dust and sand.

For those stealing, looting and padding budgets to acquiring mansions and cars and making wicked laws to cost hardship to electorates in their villages and towns. Where would you be if you die today
