Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has commiserated with the family of a former governor of the state, Cornelius Adebayo, who died earlier today at the age of 84. 


Governor AbdulRazaq, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, described Adebayo as an all-time patriot, statesman, and progressive leader who dedicated his life to serving Nigeria, noting that his contributions at various levels of leadership earned him widespread admiration and respect.


He said that Adebayo, who was a renowned figure in Nigerian politics, serving as Kwara State Governor in 1983 and later becoming Nigeria's Minister of Communications from 2003 to 2006 under President Olusegun Obasanjo, was known for his commitment to democracy and good governance.


Governor AbdulRazaq prayed for the repose of Adebayo's soul and strength for his family during this difficult time, describing his demise as a huge loss to Kwara State and the nation.
