In a statement on Friday, Gbajabiamila said, “It is with great pain and sadness that I received the news of my friend, colleague, and deputy, Hon Jubril Buba.

“He was the Deputy House Leader and he was transparent to a fault and very principled.

“I went to see him just over a week ago in hospital and we were informed he was doing well and would be discharged.

“I had looked forward to his resumption but alas!!! I will miss Buba and my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May his soul Rest In Peace.”
