Tunde Braimoh, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Kosofe Constituency II, is dead. Mr. Braimoh passed away from an unknown illness on Friday morning.
It was reported the late lawmaker fell ill some days ago. It is suspected he died of complications resulting from COVID-19.
A source close to the family reported, “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”.
Braimoh was the Chairman of the Committee on Information, Security and Strategy. He earlier served as Chairman, Committee on Judiciary, Petitions and LASEIC.
Braimoh is survived by his wife and children.
Tributes have started pouring in, in honour of the former Kosofe Local Government Chairman.
Announcing the death on Friday morning in a statement, the Mayoress of Ikosi Isheri local council development authority, Princess Samiat Abolanle Bada, said: “Kosofe politics without you is a cold world of ice, freezing me to death like fish stark naked.
“Your 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.
“Your leadership in Kosofe exemplifies the dexterity of your seasoned administrative prowess and uncommon resourcefulness in bringing good governance to the people at the grassroot.
In her condolence, she said it was hard for her to announce the death of “our leader, mentor and a political juggernaut”.
