The Accord Party candidate for Atisbo/Saki West/Saki East Federal Constituency of Oyo State in the forthcoming 2023 general election, Jacob Funmi Ogunmola, popularly called JFO, is dead.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Ogunmola died on Sunday, a few hours after attending a function in Saki.
The late politician was the caretaker chairman of Atisbo Local Government under the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
A source close to late Ogunmola said he was being moved to Lagos, his base, from Saki, when he breathed his last.
Another source said that he had just finished a programme in Saki when he complained that he was feeling unwell. They were on their way to Lagos when he breathed his last.
A few months ago, Ogunmola’s successor in office as council chairman, Wasiu Owolabi, died in a car crash.
Condolence messages have been pouring in on social media following Ogunmola’s exit.
Not really a natural way to pass. Autopsi might explain what happened. Nigeria can not afford to lose her leaders in such unexpected manner. This must not be acceptable at all. May God bless his Soul.
