A National Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State and Chairman, House Committee on Rural Development at the 8th National Assembly, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu has mourned the death of Asiwaju Yinka Mafe, former Majority Leader of Ogun State House of Assembly.
Mafe, as fondly called, lost life battle to the icy hands of death late on Tuesday, 4th of February, 2020 which was also his birthday.
Adebutu, in a condolence message released by his media consultant, Afolabi Orekoya, described the death of Yinka Mafe as tragic and an irreparable loss, noting that Ogun State and Sagamu in particular would have his death as a huge blow. The message partly reads, "I received with a shocking grief, the death news of a political field Marshall and a great humanist, Asiwaju Yinka Mafe.
I am still in awe of how the soul of such a young, proactive, kind and intelligent individual would be taken away. This is indeed a sad news for myself, his family, political associates, the good people of Sagamu whom he diligently served during his stint at the State Assembly. We have lost a brave captain who has now passed to the status of a legend. His death in many ways can be said to be truly irreparable".
The message reads further, "It is the Almighty who grants and takes life. Though, Mafe lived a brief life but he was accomplished. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this loss and grant him eternal rest".
