• FFk mourns
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and political commentator, Barrister Jesutega Onokpasa, has reportedly passed away.
Onokpasa, a lawyer and member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 general elections, died on Monday under yet-to-be-disclosed circumstances.
His death was announced on Tuesday via X by pro-APC crusader Okezie Atani.
He wrote, “We lost Barr. Jesutega Onokpasa, may his soul rest in perfect peace.”
Onokpasa was known for his vocal support of President Bola Tinubu and regularly appeared on television to defend the APC-led administration.
Barrister Onokpasa has been off-screen for a considerable period, which may be a sign that all is not well – health-wise with the APC chieftain.
Former minister, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), has taken to his X handle to mourn the ebullient and eclectic gentleman.
He wrote:
My dear @JesutegaO, you fought like a lion & gave your all for the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023. I bear witness to your hard work, dedication, loyalty & commitment to the #RenewedHope cause and agenda. You were a brave, loyal, selfless & kind soul who had the courage of his convictions & who always spoke his mind. Most important of all you had faith in our great country Nigeria and regardless of the circumstances you found yourself in you remained strong and kept your head up high. We shall miss you brother. Rest in peace! 🙏💔
