Mallam Saliu Mustapha noted that the Nigeria’s political sphere has been thrown into mourning, pointing out that as an apologist, late Brigadier- General David Lasisi Bamigboye’s views were very much respected and recognized in Nigeria

He added that his exemplary courage would not be forgotten especially in the face of overwhelming odds – when he stood up as one of the founding fathers of the state to ensure that Kwara is at the same page with other states created together in 1967.

Mallam Saliu Mustapha said late Brigadier- General David Lasisi Bamigboye lived a life worthy of emulation and would remain in the mainstream of Nigerian politics because of his firm believe in oneness of the nation, while condoling the entire Bamigboye’s family, the people of Omu-Aran and Igbomina land on the demise of a great son of the land.
