A group, The Conscience of Yoruba Nation, says on a day like this, they remember such worthy sons as, Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, Colonel Ibrahim Adetunji Taiwo, Lt. Colonel Akintunde Akinsehinwa...

Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (1933-2011), Military Governor of Eastern Region welcomed the decree while Lt. Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi (1926-1966), Military Governor of Western Region never commented on the promulgation of the decree.

Alhaji Saburi Adeleye is not just one of the best friends of the first Military Governor of the old Western Region, Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, but the 104-year old man was the one who advised him to join the Nigerian Army.
