The sudden death of Senator Bayo Osinowo is still a shock to many of his supporters.


The late Oshinowo was the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District. He died last week after a brief illness.


To Hon. Doyin Johnson, who is the Convener/ Executive Director of Bola Tinubu Mentorship Conference, “the glorious home call of Senator Bayo Osinowo was a rude shock to me and many other chieftains. It looked like a nightmare, I find it very difficult to believe but who are we to question God.”


According to  Hon. Johnson, who is also the South West Publicity Secretary of Presidential Support Committee, the late Senator was a God fearing man, a down to heart leader, a leader with listening ears who had selfless leadership skills during his time.


“According to the rule of life, all the living souls must die, either rich or poor,” he said.


Johnson lamented that he had been having sleepless nights in the past seven days the late Senator died, adding that Osinowo’s death came as a rude shock considering the last discussion he had with the deceased when he (Johnson) visited him at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.


“We had series of discussions bothering on the issues of our senatorial district. The discussions lasted for over three hours few days before the lockdown of COVID-19 pandemic began in March this year.


 “It is widely believed that every single living soul shall taste death, but the irony is that no one knows when, where or how this moment will come or the manner in which it will present itself. All I have to say is may his gentle soul rest in peace,” Hon. Johnson told P.M. EXPRESS on Tuesday in Lagos. 


He said that the sudden death of Senator Osinowo’s who was one of Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Mentorship Ambassadors, not only came as a rude shock, but a great loss to him, BAT Mentorship Ambassadors Dynasty, all the good people of Kosofe, Lagos East Senatorial District,  All Progressive Congress Party (APC) Lagos State and Nigeria at large.


“I find solace in the fact that his many good works are worthy legacy left behind. Let me use this opportunity to commiserate with the family of our dear Senator, the late Bayo Osinowo. This was a huge loss to us,” Johnson said.


“Senator Adebayo Sikiru Osinowo, the Chairman, House Committee on Industry in the Upper Chamber  was a colossus, brave, dogged fighter, freedom fighter, democracy hero, giant who stood tall among his contemporaries. 


“He was a good leader to reckon with at all times. He was a talking drum who did not get tire easily when counseling the upcoming Nigerian leaders. He was an excellent caring heart leader indeed.


“He was a caring leader who had a warm and lively sense of humour, but if you are far to him you may not see all the good qualities he possessed. Frankly speaking, I never regret that I knew Senator Osinowo closely.”


Doyin Johnson said that every opportunity he had “sitting with Senator Osinowo when he was alive was as good as being in tutorial centre of politics and general life coaching centre where I must learn a lesson about life in general.


“We shall sincerely miss him. Death has taken away the outstanding man of all ramification most. especially at the peak of his career. I must confess, it is difficult to believe that our own Pepperito has gone to rest but his memories will surely lives forever. May his departed soul rest in peace and may his light perpetually shine. Rest in power and peace Pepperito”
