Osun APC Mourns Remi Abass, Slain Irewole Council Chair, Directs Colleagues To Stay Off LG Council Secretariats In Honour Of Deceased

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed its condolences to the immediate and political families of Honourable Remi Abass, the Chairman of Irewole Local Government Council Area of the state, who was killed by the Peoples Democratic Party PDP’s political hoodlums in the ancient town of Ikire yesterday.

The state chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, today, stated that the untimely and sudden killing of the peace-loving and consummate politician was inhuman, wicked and callous.

Lawal who directed the other chairmen and their councillors to stay off their respective council secretariat as a sign of respect for their fallen colleagues until further notice assured them that the late Abass would not be killed in vain.

He commended all the council chairmen for acting in accordance with the Court of Appeal judgement that secured victory for them penultimate Monday.

The state APC chairman enjoined the police to extend their dragnet with a view to arresting, investigating and prosecution of the killers of the serving local government council chairmen and their sponsors who could not have come from the moon.

He sympathized with the immediate family members, political associates and all the progressive-loving people of Ikire over the needless gruesome murder of Alhaji Abass.

Lawal promised that the leadership of the party would do all necessary things to ensure that the chairman of Irewole Local Government Council Area did not die in vain.

He reminded the colleagues of the deceased and other members of the party that the only thing to sustain the legacy that claimed the life of Abass is to remain resolute in their commitment towards the realization of the collective aspiration of the party now and in the nearest future.

May Almighty Allah favour the soul of our amiable local government chairman in Irewole Local Government Council Area and forgive him his excesses.
