Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola says the death of former Minister of Information and Culture Prince Tony Momoh is a great loss to the country and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the deceased was a patriotic Nigerian and a progressive politician who served Nigeria selflessly and contributed immensely to nation building.
The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, on Tuesday, in Osogbo, described the late Momoh as a veteran journalist, lawyer, astute politician and elder statesman, adding that he was an all-around personality.
Oyetola who noted that Momoh until his death was a man who spoke truth to power through his editorials and never compromised his standard for anything or anyone, said his voice of reason would be greatly missed.
Also, the governor has sent a condolence message to the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, over the death of her mother, Sadiat Abeke Erogbogbo.
Oyetola urged her and the family to trust in God for the needed strength to go through the process of grief and prayed God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
