"I received with deep sadness the shocking news of the brutal murder of a close friend, brother and comrade, Sesan Ogunro. Since the sad news broke I have had cause to ponder about how dangerous and unsafe the county we live in is. He was very committed, humble and progressively minded. He was humane and very concerned about people"
“Through the Abiola years he was front and center in the struggle for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria. Later he also played a central role before and during my tenure as governor of Lagos. My heart bleeds in part for the loss of such a brilliant and talented man. In another part my heart bleeds for our county Nigeria and for many of our innocent citizens who will be gruesomely murdered in similar fashion in the days and months ahead. There must be a way to stop this hemorrhage and wastage of our best minds. Security of lives should be a top priority agenda by the government with stiffer penalties for those who hold and use guns illegally."
“Though dead Sesan will never be forgotten. He lived an impactful life that touched family , relatives, associates and colleagues. “
