A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Dr Yunus Akintunde, has expressed shock at the death of the Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Michael Adeyemo.
In his condolence message, Akintunde, who is a former Commissioner for Works, said his death dealt a huge blow to the government and people of the state.
Akintunde, who is a governorship hopeful, described the deceased as a gentle, humble, affable and purposeful politician who had a brighter future ahead of him but which death cut short.
“It is sad that death chose to snatch Hon. Michael Adeyemo at this crucial time that the state needed him more than before. His leadership of the House was remarkable in the stability of governance and his place in the Oyo State political space remains large.
“As believers, however, we submit to the will of Allah, believing that the astute lawmaker had a better date with his Creator. May God give his family, the people and government of Oyo State the fortitude to bear the loss.” His statement read in part.
