This reporter who is a close friend of Davis for 33 years, said, “my heart is sunken. It’s unbelievable. He called me yesterday to request for Chief Segun Odegbami’s phone number. I can’t believe it”.
Otunba Davis will be remembered by Nigerians, mostly the Yoruba, on the role he played on the annulment of June 12th, 1993 presidential election which business mogul, late Chief M. K.O. Abiola was the acclaimed winner.
