Tinubu mourns deputy chief whip Onanuga
President Bola Tinubu on Friday expressed sadness over the death of Adewunmi Onanuga, the deputy chief whip of the House of Representatives.
The lawmaker, who represented Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency of Ogun State, died on January 15, following a brief
illness, Bayo Onanuga, the president’s spokesman, said in a statement.
The deceased served as the chairperson of the House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development in the ninth assembly and deputy
chief whip in the 10th.
“She never stopped serving her constituency, and her passion for a better Nigeria will remain unforgettable in the hearts of those who came
in direct contact with her.
“Rep. Onanuga was also a role model for women in politics, demonstrating that with hard work, integrity and dedication to just causes,
women can be effective leaders in politics,” the president said.
Mr Tinubu offered condolences to the Onanuga family, her loved ones, the government and the people of Ogun State, particularly her
constituents in Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency.
He prayed that God grant her eternal rest and comfort her family and all.
