The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the passing of Prince Muiz Dosunmu Shodipe, its State Secretary.
The party’s announcement was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the party’s spokesperson, Barrister Taofik Gani, but refused to disclosed further information.
Nigerian Tribune reports that Shodipe, who was said to have been nursing an undisclosed ailment for some time now, died in Lagos on Wednesday morning.
As of the time of filing this report, the family is yet to announce arrangements for his burial.
While mourning the passing of Mr. Shodipe, the PDP described it as one death too much for the party.
The party said it feared that the death of Shodipe, described as a dogged secretary at this time, was a big blow that might slow the re-engineering of PDP in the state, but quickly submitted to the will of God.
The party prayed for the soul of the departed to enjoy at the bosom of the Lord.
“The Lagos State PDP also prays for the family to have the fortitude to bear the monumental loss,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, the party has directed that all her flags all over Lagos State be flown at half-mast and special prayers be held for late Shodipe at all her meetings statewide.
