The chairman of Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Olufunmi Olatunji, has died.
He died last night after a brief illness, according to the spokesman to Lagos governor, Gboyega Akosile.
Akosile said the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, described the late council boss as an extremely loyal politician and an invaluable asset to the APC.
Olatunji was campaigning for a second term as chairmanship candidate of the APC for the July 24 Local Government elections in Lagos State before his death.
He said the deceased lived a fulfilled life and impacted lives through selfless service to his family, people of Eti-Osa East LCDA, Lagos State and humanity at large.
Akosile in a statement quoted Sanwo-Olu as saying that: “The death of Hon. Olufunmi Olatunji is a painful and great loss to Lagos State. I am saddened by the death of this fine gentleman; a loyal party man and committed democrat.
“There is no doubting the fact that he would be missed by the entire political class, particularly Eti-Osa East LCDA, Lagos APC family and the state as a whole,” he said.
