The legal practitioner described the late artiste as a good man, a shining star, and a hardworking individual whose passing had left many in disbelief.
The politician did not stop at condolences. He ended his tribute with a pointed warning:
"And please watch… His death was not ordinary."
Olajengbesi Condemns Nigeria's Healthcare Failures
Beyond the tribute, Olajengbesi used the occasion to criticise Nigeria's healthcare system, raising concern over the recurring loss of lives linked to poor emergency response and inadequate medical facilities across the country.
He argued that access to quality healthcare remained far from guaranteed for ordinary Nigerians, and pointed to reports of hospitals turning patients away when staff believed they lacked the equipment to handle serious emergencies.
"Nigeria has lost too many people, old and young, to poor emergency response and a poor healthcare system," he wrote.
A Call to Support the Family
Furthermore, Olajengbesi directed a message at those who were close to Toluwanisings during his lifetime.
The lawyer called on the late minister's friends and colleagues to rally around the family in the days ahead, urging them to ensure the deceased's loved ones received adequate care and protection during the period of grief.
