Abiodun mourns late Ogun rep

Ogun Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has sympathised with the family of the late member of the House of Representatives, Adewunmi Onanuga.

In a condolence message on Wednesday, Abiodun described the passing of the lawmaker as devastating and shocking.

He noted that Onanuga’s death was a monumental loss to Ogun, in particular, and Nigeria as a whole.

Onanuga represented the Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency, serving as the Deputy Chief Whip in the Green Chamber.

She died early Wednesday after a brief illness. She was born on Dec. 2, 1965.

The governor described her as a fearless leader, a loyal party member, and a great mobiliser.
Abiodun added that the late lawmaker contributed immensely to the advancement of women and the general well-being of her constituents until her final days.

He prayed for the repose of her soul and strength for the family she left behind to bear the loss.
“I sincerely sympathise with the leadership of the House of Representatives, led by the Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, and members of the lower chamber.

“Without mincing words, her death came as a rude shock to all of us in Ogun. It was both devastating and sudden; we have truly lost an extraordinary Amazon.

“Her courage was exemplary, and her loyalty was exceptional. We will sorely miss her. However, we take solace in her immense contributions to humanity and the good of all.

“May God rest her soul and grant her family the strength to endure this great loss,” Abiodun said.
