TRIBUTE: Oyo APC Mourns Ex-ATISBO Council Helmsman, Hon ‘Funmi Ogunmola.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo state has described the death of the former caretaker Chairman of ATISBO Local Government Area, Honourable Jacob ‘Funmi Ogunmola, as a colossal loss not only to the people of Oke-Ogun but the whole of the country.

Ogunmola, who served as a council boss during the first term of late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, reportedly died yesterday after returning from a campaign tour of his Atisbo/Saki East/Saki West Federal Constituency where he was aiming to represent under the platform of Accord Party.

In a statement issued on Monday by its state Chairman, Hon. Isaac Omodewu, Oyo APC expressed a deep sense of sadness and regret over it called “lamentable loss of a bright star, kind-hearted politician and patriotic citizen who lived well to serve his people and society but had to transit to the great beyond when more was still expected from him.

“JFO, as fondly called by friends and admirers, was an epitome of service and humility. He was an Omoluabi par excellence and he did his best to impart positively on the lives of many people who he came across in and outside politics. We are saddened by his transition at this time but the we find solace in the fact that he left behind a legacy that family members, friends and associates can be proud of.” Oyo APC stated
