The Otun Onigbagbo of Remo Land further described the deceased as a shining light in the banking sector; whose idea has been a game changer in the banking industry with the astronomic growth of FCMB. ‘Otunba Balogun is a well respected Man with a large heart. The illustrious Ijebu son is a very generous philanthropist who has contributed immensely to the growth of many people in and outside Nigeria. He is detribalized Nigerian who is concern about the unity of the country and he has portrayed this with his endearing persona. The lacuna his death has left cannot be filed in a hurry. I pray that God almighty console the family of the deceased and give them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.’
