From Radio Continental 102.3 FM, his death was announced through News section of Kubaji Direct.
He passed on early hour of today at St Nicolas Hospital in Lagos. He was 82 years. He was the founder Of Nigeria Advance Party the he was formerly the party's Presidential candidate.
Recently, I think early this year he commented on the Presidential chat that he acknowledged the sincerity of President Buhari in his governance.
And in the past he was strong positive critic of both former presidents, both Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.
Baba Braidewaite is a huge loss to his family and Nigeria as a whole. His political sagacity and constructive criticism will be missed.
