Two members of the Lagos State House of Assembly from Ikorodu constituencies lost their fathers in the early hours of Sunday.
Alhaji Yunus Agunbiade, father of the Majority Leader of the House, Sanai Agunbiade, and Alhaji Solaja, father of Chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology, Nurudeen Saka-Solaja, both died few hours from each other.
Agunbiade represents Ikorodu Constituency 01 in the House while Solaja is the representative of Ikorodu Constituency 02 in the House.
Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa has commiserated with lawmakers.
In his condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Razak, the Obasa described the deaths as coming at a time when their words of wisdom, experience and prayers are needed most.
Obasa stated that though the deceased persons died at advanced ages, nobody willingly wants to lose his or her parents no matter how old.
“However, we must take solace in the fact that the two men lived fulfilled lives as exemplified by the offspring that survived them particularly our own Honourables Sanai Agunbiade and Nurudeen Saka-Solaja,” he said.
While commiserating with the people of Ikorodu and Imota communities in Ikorodu Local Government, Obasa prayed to God to give the two communities, particularly the Agunbiade and Solaja families the grace and fortitude to bear the huge loss.
