  The Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has described late Aare Teslim Olusanya Dawodu, who died on Wednesday, as a man of character, integrity, a profound politician and a community leader.

In the message he wrote on the condolence register when he visited the family of the deceased in his Sagamu, Ogun State, residence on Wednesday, the governor expressed his profound love for the late politician.

Dear Baba, we owe thanks to the almighty God for a well spent life that you lived. You were a man of character and Integrity, a profound politician and a community leader and you were a man who loved God, his family, children and your family.

Writing further, he prayed for the deceased.

  "

May the Almighty forgive your sins and grant the repose of your soul. Thank you for the support that you gave me on my way to the office, you will be missed. May your soul continue to rest in peace."

Prince Abiodun concluded.

Former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who was also there to commiserate with the Dawodu's family, described the late pharmacist, as a great elder statesman, who they would miss.

He prayed that God should let him rest in peace and be with the family he left behind.
