Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has expressed deep condolences to the family of the late Rt. Hon. Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga, a member of the House of Representatives who represented Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency.
Onanuga, who served as the Deputy Chief Whip of the Green Chamber, passed away early Wednesday morning after a brief illness.
In a statement, Governor Abiodun described her death as devastating and a monumental loss to Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole. He praised the late lawmaker as a fearless leader, a loyal party member, and a passionate advocate for women’s advancement and the welfare of her constituents.
“Her death came as a rude shock to all of us in Ogun State. It was both devastating and sudden; we have truly lost an extraordinary amazon,” the governor said.
He added, “Her courage was exemplary, and her loyalty was exceptional. We will sorely miss her. However, we take solace in her immense contributions to humanity and the good of all.”
Governor Abiodun extended his sympathies to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, and all members of the lower chamber.
He prayed for the repose of Onanuga’s soul and strength for her family to bear the irreplaceable loss.
“May God Almighty rest her soul and grant her family the strength to endure this great loss,” he concluded.
