The Kwara State Government has described newly appointed Local Government Service Commissioner, Olatunji Abel, as a great party man.
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq, Malam Rafiu Ajakaye, confirmed the passing away of Abel in a statement on Monday in Ilorin.
Abel, who hailed from Igbaja in Ifelodun Local Area of the state, died on Saturday of a suspected heart attack in his sleep at his home town.
Ajakaye said the late Abel was newly appointed as Commissioner to serve his motherland.
He said: โThat was one death too many.
โWe are still shocked at the untimely death of Hon. Olatunji Abel who was always full of life.
โHe was a great party man, a man of the people, and a die-hard believer in the great works of the Governor.
โHe was recently nominated to contribute his own quota to the development of our dear state, but it has pleased our creator to recall him at this time.
โWe are however consoled by the fact that the late Hon. Abel was a good man who played his own role very well while on earth.
โWe sincerely commiserate with his family, friends and associates.
โWe pray to the Almighty God to rest his soul and comfort his family at this trying time.โ
