Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has described the death of former Secretary to the Oyo State Government, Michael Koleoso, as the end of an era.
In a statement on Tuesday signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Moses Alao, Mr Makinde said the late Koleoso played outstanding roles in national developments during his lifetime.

Mr Makinde praised the late Koleoso who was also a former national chairman of the defunct Alliance for Democracy as one of the last men standing from a generation of great men and women who gave their best to serving Oyo State and Nigeria.
He expressed his condolences to the immediate and political families of the deceased, the people of Saki (his home town), and residents of Oyo State.
He prayed to God to grant everyone the fortitude to bear the loss.
