Chairman of House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee and the All Progressives Congress, APC, senatorial candidate for Lagos West, Hon Solomon Adeola, has debunked media reports that he’s dead.
The APC lawmaker was mistaken for a Labour Party candidate in Ogun State, who died this week.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Media Adviser, Kayode Odunaro, and made available to Aproko247, the lawmaker, fondly called Yayi, explained that he took a break “from his campaign following the postponement of the February 14, 2015 election and had arrived Abuja on Tuesday to join other members in the resumption of the House plenary from the last adjournment for the election.”
It was further explained in the statement that Hon Adeola “was part of the plenary session on Tuesday and Wednesday and attended to further legislative committee duties relating to Public Accounts with such agencies as Nigerian Communication Commissions amongst others.”
“Hon Adeola remain steadfast in pursuit of his aspiration to serve the people of Lagos West as a senator while fully discharging his duties as the incumbent representative of Alimosho Federal Constituency and the chairman of Public Accounts Committee of House of Representatives,” the statement added.
He urged “all those with death wish for him to know that only God Almighty gives and take life adding that the wish of mere mortals will remain just a wish that will not come to pass.”
