In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, Governor Sanwo-Olu described Chief Ajose’s death as a significant loss for Lagos State and the ruling party.
He noted that the 78-year-old’s unique position as a retired public servant and influential mobilizer within the APC has left a vacuum within the party.
Sanwo-Olu extended his condolences to members of the Governance Advisory Council, leaders, and members of the APC, particularly those in the Badagry Division.
He commended Ajose as a seasoned administrator, passionate leader, and respected politician who dedicated his life to serving the people of Badagry, the ruling party, and Lagos State with distinction.
He said: “The passing of Chief Sunny Ajose is a great loss to Lagos State, especially our party, the All Progressives Congress, because of the critical role the deceased was playing in the party before his death, both as a GAC member and the apex party leader in Badagry.
“Chief Ajose was an epitome of dedication and selflessness in public service. He contributed positively to the public service sector as Head of Service during the tenure of our leader, President Bola Tinubu, as the Governor of Lagos State. He also played an active role as a one time Special Adviser to the Governor (Governor’s Office) in Lagos State.
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu
“Chief Sunny Ajose, as a consummate politician and committed grassroots leader, contributed immensely to the growth and development of our great party as Lagos APC Deputy Chairman. He was a trustworthy, devoted and progressive democrat.
“As a member of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), I had the privilege of working with him directly on many issues relating to the development of Badagry and Lagos as a whole. His leadership in Lagos politics was exemplary.
“Chief Ajose will be missed dearly by his family, friends, and the entire political class, particularly GAC, chieftains, and members of the ruling party across Lagos State and Nigeria, especially in Badagry, where he was the apex leader before his death.
