Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed sorrow over the unexpected passing of Hon.
Oladotun Olakanle, the State’s Onigbongbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Chairman.
In a sympathy letter released on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that the loss of Olakanle was enormous for the All Progressives Congress, the APC, Onigbongbo LCDA, and Lagos State in general. Olakanle, also known as Tant’olorun, passed away on Saturday at the age of 54 following a brief illness.
The governor expressed his condolences to the deceased’s immediate family, his friends and acquaintances, Conference 57, members and leaders of the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC), and the whole Onigbongbo LCDA community for the loss of the late council chairman.
He said, “On behalf of my family, the people, and the government of Lagos State Government, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the residents of Onigbongbo LCDA on the death of the council Chairman, Hon. Oladotun Olakanle. His death was a personal loss to me and a painful loss to his council and Lagos State.
“I am saddened by the death of this fine gentleman, a loyal party man and committed democrat and public officer who had a deep understanding of local government administration and the political landscape.
“Hon. Olakanle was a loyal politician and an invaluable asset to the All Progressives Congress (APC). There is no doubt that he would be missed by the entire political class, particularly the Onigbongbo LCDA, the Lagos APC family, and the State as a whole.
“As the Chairman of Onigbongbo LCDA, Olakanle was deeply committed to the progress and well-being of the council, and this was evident in every programme he championed and the remarkable performance of his administration in the last four years.
“He would be remembered for creating a lasting legacy and for his positive contributions to the growth and development of the Onigbongbo Local Council Development Area.
“I pray that God will grant the soul of our beloved Hon. Oladotun Olakanle eternal rest and comfort his immediate and political family of the deceased, as well as the people of Onigbongbo LCDA.”
