Five APC Leaders dead in Ibadan
Former Senate Leader (APC- Oyo Central Senatorial District), Teslim Folarin has commiserated with the Oyo State Councillors’ Forum over the death of five of its party members.
Mr Folarin, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content, in his comforting message on Tuesday in Ibadan, expressed shock over the shocking death of the councillors.
Among the deceased members were Rukayat Adejumobi from Itesiwaju local government and Oluyemi Muhammad from Ibadan South local council development area (LCDA).
Others included Oluwole Adesokan from Akinyele, Asimiyu Ajayi from Ido and Moruf Agbedo from Egbeda.
Mr Folarin described the death of the council legislators as an irremediable loss to the APC family, the wards they served during their lifetime, and their immediate families.
“I was shocked and saddened to hear about the tragic loss of some elected councillors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State.
“My heart aches for the forum, the progressive family, the constituencies they represented, and the families they left behind.
“I convey my deep condolences to Oyo State Councillors’ Forum, Oyo ALGON, bereaved families, followers, and our party, APC,” he said.
People would remember the contributions of the councillors in the uplift of the downtrodden, Mr Folarin added.
He urged the Oyo APC management to take advantage of Ramadan to organise special prayers for the departed souls and support the bereaved families.
The cause of deaths was not known as of the time of filing this report.
