Samuel Awoyinfa, Abeokuta

A former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has described as shocking, the death of a former military administrator and member of the National Assembly, Senator John Shagaya.

This was contained in a condolence letter sent to the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong by Obasanjo, and copy was made available to our correspondent in Abeokuta on Monday, through his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi.

The former president noted that the late military officer served his country meritoriously.

The letter read in part, “I was shocked to receive the sad news of the tragic death of Senator John Nanzip Shagaya.

“He served his country meritoriously as a soldier, a military administrator and a lawmaker before he died after a tragic road accident.

“He will be sorely missed by his family, his community and his colleagues in the Senate and surely by his State and his friends and former colleagues in the military.

Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
