The All Progressives Congress in Lagos State has expressed sadness over passing of the Executive Chairman of Oto Awori Local Council Development Area, Musbau Ashafa.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ashafa passed away on Friday after a prolonged illness.
The State APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, in a statement on Saturday, described Ashafa’s death as painful.
“The news of your passing, dear Hon. Musbau Ashafa, has left me with a heavy heart.
“As a fellow party member and brother, your departure is a painful loss, not just for me, but for our entire party.
“As Chairman of Oto-Awori LCDA, you played a pivotal role in shaping grassroots politics, leaving an indelible mark on our community.
“Your dedication, passion, and leadership inspired countless individuals, and your legacy will continue to inspire future generations,” Ojelabi said.
The APC boss said he had the privilege of working alongside Ashafa since his tenure as chairman of Ojo Local Government.
He added, “Your tireless efforts, unwavering commitment, and selfless service earned you the respect and admiration of us all.
“Your ability to bring people together, foster unity, and drive development will be deeply missed.
“It’s particularly tragic that you’ve left us at a time when your expertise and guidance are needed most, with local government elections just weeks away.
