The
Speaker of the Ondo state House of Assembly, Samuel Adesina has died on
Monday night at an undisclosed hospital in Lagos, sources in the state parliament said.
The Ondo State governor's spokesperson Eni Akinsola, however, could not confirm the death of the speaker.
Adesina was fighting cancer. His absence from the House of Assembly has been a source of worry for over three months.
It
was previously reported that Adesina could no longer perform his duties
as he was moving about to seek medical attention, especially from the
spiritualists.
Adesina is the first Speaker of the Ondo state
House of Assembly to have spent three years in that position without
being impeached.
He is also the first legislator voted three consecutive times by his people to represent them in the state Assembly.
Adesina
was a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before he decamped
to the Labour Party (LP) on April 8, 2010 to pave way for his emergence
as Speaker of the Assembly
