The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state has lamented the death of the lawmaker representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Honorable Musiliu Olaide Akinremi, describing the news of his demise as a great loss to the party, Ibadanland and Nigeria as a whole.

Akinremi who reportedly died in Abuja at the early hours of Wednesday was serving his second term in office as a member of the Green Chamber.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC said that Akinremi’s death happened at a time he was needed most by his Constituents, the National Assembly and the human society as a whole.

“Prince Akinremi’s demise is a death too many as he means so much to our great Party even in death. It was him who redefined representation at the National Assembly to give relief and hope to the people of Ibadan North Federal Constituency. He was the face of responsible and responsive leadership with many achievements in his record.

“The Barr. Isaac Omodewu-led State Executive Committee as well as the entire members and supporters of the APC have lost a wonderful party man and a colourful politician who left an indelible footprints on the sands of time. The vacuum he left behind will be extremely difficult to fill but we find solace in the legacy of kindness, philanthropy and service to the people which he was able to implant on the surface of the earth.” Sadare added.
