Adebutu, in a condolence message by his media aide, Afolabi Orekoya, extolled the “great virtues” of the former Chief of General Staff, Chief of Defence Staff and former Military Governor of Ogun State.
He described General Diya as an illustrious son of Odogbolu, saying he was a courageous administrator par excellence.
