He was hailed by PMB for his contributions through his interventions during the constitutional conference 1994.
Also, one of his children, Senator Lanre Tejuoso, said his father had been a good example to the children.

Ayo Olusanya, spokesperson for the Osile, was on hand to ensure that everything went well for guests during the celebrations.
The event was attended by dignitaries, including Ogun State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Yetunde Onanuga, who represented Gov. Ibikunle Amosun; former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Publisher, Ovation Magazine, Bashorun Dele Momodu; Senators Dino Melaye, Demola Seriki, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Iyalode Alaba Lawson, among others.
