The Chairman, Senate Committee on Industries and the Senator representing the Lagos East Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA has mourned the passing of a front line politician and member of the prestigious Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) in Lagos, Chief Mrs Kemi Nelson.

Abiru, in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr. Enitan Olukotun on Sunday in Lagos, described the death of Chief Mrs Nelson as shocking and devastating.

He said the astute grassroot mobilizer, highly cerebral administrator and defender of the downtrodden quit the stage when her robust wealth of experience in politics will be highly needed.

The Senator condoled with the family of the deceased, the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the All Progressives Congress(APC), and the teeming supporters and admirers of the former APC South West  Women Leader and Executive Director of the Nigerian Insurance Social Trust Fund.

Abiru prayed that God should grant the family of the deceased and all progressives the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
