Lagos lawmaker, Tunde Braimoh is dead

Tunde Braimoh, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Kosofe Constituency II, is dead. He passed away on Friday morning.

According to a source close to the family, the deceased has fallen ill some days ago. His actual cause of death is not yet known but some of his colleagues have attributed his death to Coronavirus, adding that he must have contracted the disease from late Senator Bayo Osinowo (Pepperito) who was his close friend.

“He told his aides that he wasn’t feeling well. It’s not even up to a week. But we still don’t know if it’s coronavirus,” the source said.

In her condolence, she said it was hard for her to announce the death of “our leader, mentor and a political juggernaut”.

Bada stressed that Kosofe politics without Braimoh “is a cold world of ice, freezing me to death like fish stark naked. I can’t but doubt my hearing, my breath seizes”.

She noted that the demise “is not just a lonely death but a string that rubs on many as victims. As a bearer of law, you stood as the voice of the voiceless. Many are living testimonies to your life touching impacts”.

The LCDA head said Braimoh’s leadership in Kosofe exemplifies the dexterity of his seasoned administrative prowess and uncommon resourcefulness in bringing good governance to the people at the grassroot.

Braimoh passed on barely four weeks after the Senator representing Lagos East District, Bayo Osinowo died.
