Sad! Oyo Accord party reps candidate dies

The Accord Party candidate for Atisbo/Saki East/Saki West Federal constituency, Jacob Funmi Ogunmola, is dead.

The Nation quoted sources as saying Ogunmola died a few hours after attending a function in Saki.

It was gathered that the an ex-Chairman of Atisbo local government breathed his last when he was being moved from Saki, his base to Lagos.

Another source said he had just finished a programme in Saki when he complained he was not well, which prompted the move to take him to Lagos.

In a post on his campaign Facebook, the Ago Are-born politician was seen telling his host that it was not in his habit to come late to events but that he had a crisis.

A few months ago, Ogunmola’s successor in office as council chairman, Wasiu Owolabi, died in an auto accident.
