The Ekiti state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has commiserated with the state government and the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, over the death of its state chairman, Barrister Paul Omotosho.

Stating that it shared in the pain of the family of the late APC leader, the PDP said that its thoughts and prayers were with them as they grieved over the loss.

A statement made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday by the state publicity secretary of the PDP, Raphael Adeyanju, stated, “On behalf of all members of our great party, the PDP, we express our heartfelt condolences to the government of Ekiti State and the families of Barrister Omotosho over the untimely demise of a promising Ekiti State son.

“The party wishes the families, friends, and political associates of the late patriot continued support and guidance from the Almighty God.”

Describing Omotosho as a patriot who placed the interest of Ekiti State above partisan politics, the PDP said that his death is a great loss not only to the ruling party but to Nigeria as a country.

“”Our only consolation is that the late APC leader lived a fulfilled life as a God-fearing man, a responsible family man, a dedicated community leader, and a committed party man.”
