THE Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Lagos State, Dr Adegbola Dominic, is dead.
The party’s spokesperson in the state, Taofeeq Gani, confirmed this today.
Gani said the Lagos PDP boss died this afternoon of coronavirus-related ailments.
“The Lagos State PDP Chairman, Dr ADEGBOLA DOMINIC, has just died of Covid-19 related ailments. The late senior medical practitioner has been an exceptional politician who had deployed much of his hard-earned money into philanthropism. He was the Medical Director of Santa Maria Hospital.
“Dr Dominic was a grassroots politician from the days of Action Group. He had held many political positions, notable amongst being State SDP officer; State Chairman of PAC; National Chairman of APN (Founded by late Jakande); State Chairman of Lagos PDP.
“He had also contested Lagos State governorship under the platform of APGA. He was the Jakande group candidate for the Lagos West senatorial primary of the SDP, a contest between him and Bola Tinubu.”
Gani further said the Lagos PDP boss was dogged about “the emancipation of the oppressed, pauperised and less privileged.
“He stood for the development of Lagos and he sure regrets that this Lagos is not as he wished.
“He will be forever remembered in Lagos Politics. We condole with his family.
“All PDP flags In the state shall fly at half-mast. All PDP meetings at this time are to be prayers for him. Burial arrangements shall be as presented by the family.”
