Dr. Tunde Oshinowo, son of the late Senator Adebayo Oshinowo, also called Pepperito, who represented Lagos East Senatorial District, has the pain of his father’s death would remain with the family forever.
He said this while receiving a condolence visit by Governor Sanwo-Olu and his cabinet members to the Ogudu residence of the Oshinowo family.
“Spiritually, my dad had prepared us for this moment but we never prepared physically. This is a pain and burden the family would carry on for the rest of our lives. We have accepted Allah’s wish over the death of our father,” Dr. Oshinowo said.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, told the widow, Alhaja Mariam Oshinowo that he had a good relationship with the late Senator Osinowo and that his death was a great loss to Lagos.
“I am personally at a loss over the death of Senator Adebayo Oshinowo. I am yet to recover from the shock because of the good relationship I had with him, even before I became the Governor. His passing is also a huge loss to our nation and Lagos State in particular, because of his years of service.
“No doubt that Senator Oshinowo’s personality was larger than life. His death has left a void, not only in leadership but also in the hearts of all of us, who are his associates. He was a detribalized Nigerian and a true Lagosian,” Mr. Sanwo-Olu said.
The Governor’s delegation was received by members of the House of Assembly and their colleagues representing Kosofe constituency in the House of Representatives.
