President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Adewunmi Onanuga, the Deputy Chief Whip of the House of Representatives and representative of the Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency in Ogun State.
Onanuga reportedly passed away on Wednesday following a brief illness.
In a statement released on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the late lawmaker as a committed public servant and a trailblazer for women in politics.
“She remained steadfast in her service to her constituency, and her dedication to building a better Nigeria will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her,” Tinubu stated.
He further emphasized Onanuga’s impact as a role model for women in governance, highlighting her integrity, diligence, and leadership as qualities that set an example for aspiring female politicians.
The statement also acknowledged her contributions as Chairperson of the House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development during the 9th Assembly, as well as her role as Deputy Chief Whip in the current 10th Assembly.
On behalf of the Federal Government, President Tinubu extended his heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, the government, and the people of Ogun State, particularly her constituents.
He prayed for divine comfort for those grieving her loss and for her soul to rest in eternal peace.
