Seyi Makinde who also confirmed the death, dropped the hint when he was called to deliver a goodwill message at an ongoing interfaith prayers for Oyo workers. The Governor, who said he got the news at the event, only called for a minute silence.

He had also ordered the ongoing programme be brought to an abrupt end as a sign of respect to one of his predecessors.
