Former Minister of State for Defence Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has commiserated with the family and associates of former Lagos State military Governor Mobolaji Johnson.
He described the deceased as a professional soldier and incorruptible administrator.
Obanikoro said in a statement that Johnson fought the infrastructure battle, adding that he laid a good foundation for successive governments.
He said: “It is indeed a big loss to Lagos, Nigeria and humanity. A fine soldier and gentleman. One of the founding fathers of Lagos State.

“A state they fought for and created in order to give indigenous people of the state a sense of pride and ownership within the Nigerian state.
“He set a standard of service that became a model for all his successors. A man of class and decency. He will be missed.”
Obanikoro charged Johnson’s children to sustain his legacies of contentment, faith in Lagos State and belief in Nigeria.
He said future generations will continue to salute his coverage and pathfinding contributions to the growth and development of Lagos.
