Former guber aspirant, Obadofin is dead

 

Prince Rotimi Obadofin, a former governorship aspirant on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in Kogi State, is dead.
The late politician was until his demise a front line member of Afenifere.
Obadofin is a native of Aiyegunle Gbede, in Ijumu local government area of Kogi State.


According to Vanguard, he reportedly died in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Thursday night owing to issues relating to appendicities.
In a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Kingsley Fanwo, Governor Yahyah Bello of Kogi State described the late Obadofin as a “Pragmatic democrat, fiery human right defender and a believer in the core ethos of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group that wrestled power from khakistocrats and returned the nation to representative democracy.”
