The Ogun State chapters of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Allied People’s Movement (APM) have announced the death of Hon. Prince Abdul-Rasaq Adeoye Obamorolu, the APM State Secretary and former NNPP Chairman in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the parties’ spokesperson, Comrade Lamidi Obayomi.
Until his death, Obamorolu served as the Ogun State Secretary of the Allied People’s Movement and was the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency. He had earlier served as the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Chairman of the NNPP before and during the 2023 general elections.
The politician, who had reportedly been battling an undisclosed ailment, died on Saturday afternoon.
He is expected to be buried on Sunday at Obere, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area, in accordance with Islamic rites.
Reacting to his death, the Ogun State Chairman of the APM, Comrade Dr. Sanyaolu Abayomi, described the loss as “one death too many” for the party.
He said the death of Obamorolu, whom he described as a dogged party secretary, was a major blow to the party, particularly at a critical period of its political activities and preparations for the forthcoming campaign.
Abayomi, however, submitted to the will of God and prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased’s soul.
He also prayed that God would grant the bereaved family the strength and fortitude to bear the monumental loss.
