Mr. Ogunleye stated that the untimely death of the LGA’s Vice Chairman was a painful loss for the people.
“I’m back on a sad, painful, and pathetic note to announce the tragic death of our council vice chairman, Hon Anthony Adebusola.”
“After a brief illness, this unfortunate death occurred yesterday.” It was heartbreaking to lose both our elected council chairman and his affable and loyal vice chairman in the same week.
