“Baba was a man of integrity who made highly indelible marks in his sojourn while on earth. He was steadfast in the economic betterment of humanity which endeared him to the downtrodden; a man of exemplary honour and leadership consistency.”
“We are certain that Baba Kuye will forever remain a pride to all and his contributions to the development of democracy in Nigeria will be fondly remembered”, the message reads.
