“As a democrat, the late Suntai etched his name in the annals of our democratic advancement by working courageously for the emergence and consolidation of the Fourth Republic.

“Before venturing into politics Suntai acquitted himself as a highly committed practitioner who brought honour and glory to the pharmacy profession.

“His good works as a dedicated family man, accomplished professional, selfless politician and great philanthropist would continue to live after him.
