Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says he is ‘saddened’ by the death of Senator Bayo Osinowo, popularly known as Pepper.
The governor tweeted on Monday night, saying Osinowo would be greatly missed.
He wrote: “Today, Lagos lost a hardworking and committed son, Senator Bayo Osinowo.
“As the Senator representing Lagos East, he worked for the progress of our state and will be remembered for his love and service to the people.
“I am saddened by his death. He was a loyal party man and a committed democrat, with a deep understanding of the state’s social and political landscape.
“I pray that Almighty Allah grants his soul eternal rest and a place in Aljannah firdaus.”
Osinowo was a four-time member of the Lagos State House of Assembly before he was elected a senator in 2019 to replace Gbenga Ashafa.
