ThE Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, on Sunday commiserated with the Peoples Democratic Party in the state over the loss of some of its its officials.
Recall that the party lost its chairman, Dr Adegbola Dominic last Wednesday.
Apart from the late chairman, the party also lost its state secretary, Prince Muiz Dosunmu, its Lagos-West vice chairman, Alhaji Ajagbe, its women leader, Olushola Oladehinbo, and its local government chairmen for Badagry, Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Lagos Mainland and Apapa.
Obasa urged the PDP to remain strong even though it must have been a painful and solemn period for its members.
Take solace in the fact that the departed officials had played their roles for the growth and progress of democracy in the state and the nation. As religious people, we understand the place of God in everything that we do. We believe that God gives and takes. We only pray for His mercies at all times.
As politicians, we also understand the roles we all play for the progress of our state or the nation. Irrespective of our political differences, we are, first, human beings with blood and water inside us; the least expected of us is to constantly show compassion and love to one another.
“It is on this note that I commiserate with the PDP and its officials both at the national and Lagos State levels over the demise of their colleagues in the state,” Obasa said.
