The statement reads:
“My heart grieves as we lost our dear brother and one of the key players in the struggle for the liberation of Oke Ogun region, Honourable Jacob Funmi Ogunmola (JFO), who until his sudden death, was our Accord candidate for Atisbo, Saki East, Saki West federal constituency in the 2023 House of Representatives election.
“JFO was so loved by the masses due to his philanthropic, humanitarian and good leadership traits; he was actually the candidate to beat in the forthcoming election in the federal constituency.
“I pray that God consoles and guards his family, loved ones and all of us that he has left behind in this liberation mission struggle. May JFO’s soul find peace with God. Amen.”
Honourable Peller stressed that the late JFO was a leading House of Representatives candidate in the constituency, adding that he was a candidate to beat.
