Adetimehin described the death of Shaba as an irreparable loss to APC family in the state.
He noted that the contributions of the deceased to the development and success of the party in the state were enormous.
He explained that Shaba’s demise would deny the entire APC family and the state the services of a selfless illustrious son and a consistent promoter of peace and development.
“Dr K. B. Shaba was a man of integrity and exceptionally hardworking. He was a very committed and dependable political ally.

Adetimehin condoled with the immediate family of the deceased, the people of Akoko South East and the Anglican Community and prayed that God would grant the departed eternal rest.
