ACN mourns Ekiti deputy speaker

he Action Congress of Nigeria on Friday expressed shock at the death of the deputy speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr. Saliu Abayomi Adeoti.

In a statement issued in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described Adeoti as a loyal party man and principled person. It recalled that the deceased stood solidly by the party during its struggle to reclaim its mandate from the PDP.

The ACN said, “A ranking lawmaker, who is not imbued with such strength of character as Adeoti could have dumped his party and teamed up with the then ruling party in the state, but Adeoti remained true to his principle and beliefs all through the struggle. It is a cruel irony that he died shortly after the struggle finally ended on a positive note.”

The party prayed that God would grant repose to the soul of the departed and strengthen the family he left behind to be able to bear the loss.
