Oyekunle Oyetunji, Media Adviser to the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, confirmed the death of the lawmaker on Wednesday.

One memorable thing Popson did while he served his constituency was empowering his constituents with skills and cash after many were left stranded post-lockdown in 2020.
The cash was given to about 115 trainers for imparting vocational knowledge and skills to the youths who were placed in their care. The trainers whose vocational schools are tailoring, shoe making, computer school, makeup, and nylon cutting were given N10,000 each as compensation for training each trainee.
