In a congratulatory message made available to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP), Dr. Ogunsan extolled Ayinde’s qualities as a strategic administrator, seasoned security expert, and dependable ally in governance.

“It is a great privilege to honor my leader and senior friend, the revered political juggernaut and security expert, Dr. Tayo Ayinde. I consider it a privilege to know you and to sit at the same table with you on the Board of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. Learning from your vast experience is always refreshing,” Ogunsan said.
