Reacting to the news of Baba Adebunmi’s death, Asiwaju Rotimi Ajanaku, Chairman of Dux FM Station who is also one of the notable politicians based in Oyo State described Baba’s death as shocking and a great loss.
He said, “I sympathize with the Oyo State Council Chairman of the NUJ, Comrade Ademola Babalola and all journalists in the state over the sudden death of one of the Union’s reliable pillar of strength, Baba Adebisi Adebunmi.
“I got to know Baba Adebunmi through Mr. Debo Adeoye, my media consultant who described the late media icon as his father. My plan for the Baba was creating an office where he would be relaxing and using his wealth of experience to guide the operation of my newly established broadcasting stations, Dux FM Radio.
“Our intention was to make him comfortable, active and healthy throughout his old age, unfortunately he couldn’t join the headquarters of the radio stations, located at Journalists Village, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway due to his health status and danger in isolating him from his people here in Ibadan. We concluded on waiting for the commencement of Ibadan station, which he never live to witness.
“I pray God Almighty grant his departed soul eternal rest and take good care of his loved ones, including the entire Nigeria Union of Journalists, Oyo State Council in particular,” Asiwaju prayed.
