“Although, it is painful that we lost General Oladipo Diya to the cold hands of death, his eventful, remarkable and impactful life will continue to give us satisfactory succour and the assurance of a paradise for our great compatriot.

“While we deeply mourn the passage of this great Nigerian, we must not fail to consciously celebrate General Diya’s life of bravery, discipline, courage, integrity and patriotism.

“General Diya’s contribution to the sanctity of Nigeria’s territorial integrity as well as his effort towards curtailing several uprisings that threatened the corporate entity of Nigeria are legendary.

“Indeed, his life of selflessness and diligence in the service of the military elite remains a reference point for coming generations of military officers and a sort of scholarship material in academia,” he said.

Tinubu commended the leadership and tactical prowess of the late Diya which he said greatly contributed to the success of peace missions and gave him accolades both locally and Internationally

He listed his achievements to include implementation of reforms that included improving training programs and welfare for soldiers while in the service of the nation

Earlier, in his message titled; “The end of a fulfilled life”, the Bishop of Ijebu South-West Anglican Diocese, the Rt. Revd. Dr. Babatunde Ogunbanwo who read from the Acts of Apostle, chapter 13 verse 36, described the late Chief of General Staff as a patriot who lived a good life, stood for the right things and also cemented his footprints in the history of the country.

The Cleric added that Diya served his nation faithfully.

Ogunbanwo also disclosed that the late Lt. Gen. Diya was a Nigerian Hero who was not celebrated during his lifetime, saying that he was bold, disciplined, honest, kind-hearted and never corrupted himself while serving the country.

The late Gen. Diya died at the age of 79.

During his lifetime, he held several command positions, including the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 83 Division, Nigerian Army; Commandant, National War College; Military Governor of Ogun State; Chief of Defense Staff under General Ibrahim Babangida and the Chief of General Staff under the military government of General Sanni Abacha.  (vitalnewsngr.com)
