Osinbajo, who delivered President Muhammadu Buhari's oration at the funeral service, described Adebayo as an officer and a gentleman indeed, saying his "military trajectory was in a way a lesson in Nigeria's history."

He said naming of Adeyinka Adebayo Federal University in Oye-Ekiti was one of the ways Nigeria would appreciate his contributions to the country and immortalise him.
