He described the late Ayoola as a hardworking man with a selfless personality, who always offered his time, expertise, and resources when needed by anyone around him.

He said, “My brother Barrister Ayoola was a great asset to us as a former lawmaker and speaker at the Oyo State House of Assembly and also as a serving member of Governor Makinde’s cabinet.

“You served the State well and loved your people with all you had when you were alive. It saddens that death took you away when the State needed you more. May your rest in peace and may God grant your family, political associates, and the entire State fortitude to bear this loss”.

The NUJ in its reaction condoled Makinde; Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi; family, friends and political associates of the late Commissioner.

The union in a statement signed by the duo of Comrades Ademola Babalola and Sola Oladapo, Chairman and Secretary respectively, urged the Governor to take heart and be consoled that the late politician lived a life worthy of emulation.

NUJ said, “Ayoola was a vibrant, enigmatic, resourceful, diligent and cerebral politician whose demise was one death too many for the Pacesetters State.

“He will sorely be missed as a member of Governor Makinde’s think tank team. He was a fine gentleman and encyclopedia of Oyo politics since the reign of late former Governor Bola Ige.

APC in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, AbdulAzeez Olatunde noted that the news of Ayoola’s demise came like a thunderbolt.

Olatunde said, “The News of the demise of Rt Hon Kehinde Ayoola, on Thursday 14th May 2020, came like a thunderbolt to all Oyo State residents. If we classified the death of the erstwhile Commissioner for Environment as a black Thursday shock, we would be right. We are indeed shocked because this is yet another colossal loss to the Government and people of Oyo State and especially to Oyo town.

“We condole with the Government of Oyo State under the leadership of Engr Seyi Makinde, the Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, his family and the Oyo State PDP for the shocking demise of this Political Trojan. We pray that Almighty God forgives his shortcomings,”.

The Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state also described Ayoola’s demise as shocking.

ALGON Chairman, Prince Ayodeji Abass-Aleshinloye in a statement made available to NAIJARAY described Ayoola as a role model and a bridge builder.

Abass-Aleshinloye said, “The untimely death of Hon. Kehinde Ayoola is too shocking to believe. What an unexpected transition of a complete gentleman intellectual in politics, a role model, and a bridge-builder who saw his participation in politics as a selfless service to advance the cause of humanity.

“We all should take solace that life is not measured in its duration only but also in its donation. In donating his life for the common good, Ayoola’s life, although short, was long in indelible service to the people of Oyo State. He shall be greatly missed and remembered”.
