Obaseki mourns death of pioneer PDP Chairman, Chief Solomon Aguele
Former Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Chief Solomon Aguele, the pioneer Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State.
In a condolence message, Obaseki described the late Aguele as an astute politician, visionary leader, and devoted party man who played a pivotal role in laying the solid foundation of the PDP in the state.
“Chief Aguele’s steadfastness, wisdom, and exemplary service were instrumental to the growth and stability of the PDP in Edo State. His immense contributions remain indelible in our political history,” Obaseki stated.
The former governor recalled the deceased’s unwavering commitment to unity within the party, noting that despite his age and frail health, Aguele made tireless efforts to rally members for the presidential and governorship elections.
“I recall with nostalgia his kind nature and altruistic intentions for the Esan people, the people of Edo State, and indeed all Nigerians. His support for me remains most memorable,” Obaseki said.
He added that while the state mourns Aguele’s passing, it is also a moment to celebrate a life dedicated to justice, equity, and good governance.
“Chief Aguele’s legacy of loyalty, sacrifice, and statesmanship will continue to inspire generations within the party and beyond. It is my earnest prayer that his labour and efforts to build democracy in Nigeria will not be in vain,” he noted.
Obaseki extended condolences to the family of the late PDP chieftain, the party leadership, and the people of Edo State, praying for God’s comfort and strength for the bereaved.
