Sunday, February 07, 2016


Osun State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon Najeem Salaam has described as a great loss to Kwara State House of Assembly, the death of its member,  Hon. Moses Afolayan, representing Oke-Ero constituency.


The late Honourable Afolayan died on January 30.


In a condelence message issued by the Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy,  Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, on behalf of the house,  condoled with its Kwara counterpart, as well as the immediate and political family of the late lawmaker.


He regretted that the death of the lawmaker came at a time that his people were looking up to him for succour at this time of economic downturn.


Describing the death of the lawmaker as shocking and sad, he urged the family to take solace in the fact that the deceased lived a worthy life worthy of emulation.


He said, "Though the death of our friend is painful, but his contributions to the legislative business in the Kwara Assembly cannot be over emphasised.  It is a fact that death is inevitable, but it is unfortunate that it struck our friend and colleague at this critical period that his people needed him most.

"While we are mourning, we must also on the other hand celebrate the fact that Honourable Afolayan lived a worthy life that can be emulated.  It is on record that he has done well in the performance of his legislative duties in the Kwara Assembly.

"We, in the Osun Assembly condole the family of the late lawmaker, the Kwara Assembly and the entire people of Kwara State for the death. We wish that God almighty grant them the fortitude to bear irreplaceable loss."
