The lawmakers during the sitting on Tuesday presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon Olakunle Oluomo later observed a minute silence in honour of the immediate past Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and a former Senator elected on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) who represented Ogun East Senatorial District from 1999-2003.
The assembly described him as a thorough-bred legislator, loyal party man, illustrious son of the State and a distinguished Nigerian.
The legislators equally commiserated with Mr. Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, a three term governorship candidate in the state over the death of his mother praying the almighty Allah to grant Mama Aljanah fridous.
