Lagosians, Tinubu mourn Senator Osinowo's death - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:
The national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is leading Lagosians as they mourn the sudden, unexpected passing of Senator Bayo Osinowo, reports ITREALMS.

Tinubu in a personal condolence letter said he and Lagosians were deeply hurt.

According to him, Senator Osinowo was more than a close friend and political associate, stressing that over the years he became like a family member and brother in so many ways.

Part of the condolence letter available to 
ITREALMS read:

"Bayo and I have come a long way, dating back to our days in the pro-democracy struggles. We both enlisted in the Social Democratic Party where he served so well as the Youth Chairman of that party during the Third Republic and later in the Alliance for Democracy in 1998 after the restoration of democracy. Bayo’s contributions to the return of democracy were significant and enduring.

"As a prominent political figure in Lagos, he served our state with dedication, passion and concern for the common man. In the Lagos State House of Assembly, where he was a four-time member from 2003 to 2019 representing Kosofe Constituency 1, he was more than a member of that House. He provided leadership. He was a stabilising figure. He worked hard and tirelessly to make Lagos a better place. He cared for all Lagosians.

"His election in 2019 to represent Lagos East in the Senate demonstrated not only his immense political skills but also the affection the people have for him and his popularity. Thus far in the National Assembly, he discharged himself creditably as Chairman Senate Committee on Industries.

"Like the committee he headed, Bayo was extremely industrious. Bayo was not born with riches. He rose from a modest background to the great heights that he attained.

"His death hurt all who know him. Bayo was more than an excellent politician. As great a politician he was, Bayo was an even better person. He was a man of a kind heart and ready smile. His loyalty and enthusiasm was legendary, just as his generosity.

"People loved him. So many tears have been shed. However, we must summon strength to carry on as he would want us to do.

"My thoughts are with his immediate family. May Almighty Allah comfort and give them the solace that only He can provide. May Almighty Allah grant him eternal rest and admit him to Aljanna Firdaus."
