Oluwakemi Rufai, the councillor representing ward C1 in Ibeju-Lekki LGA, Lagos, has died just weeks after her election.
Rufai, the only female councillor recently sworn into the
Ibeju-Lekki legislative council, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday after
a brief illness.
In a statement issued to mourn her passing, Seye Oladejo,
spokesperson for the Lagos All Progressives Congress (APC), described Rufai as
a “rising star who embodied commitment, grassroots service, and gender
inclusion.”
Oladejo said the late councillor was dedicated to community
development, with an unwavering loyalty to the ideals of the APC, which he
noted were evident even in her brief time in office.
He extended the party’s condolences to Rufai’s family, the
Ibeju-Lekki LGA, and her constituents, adding that the APC will uphold the
values she championed.
“We are heartbroken by this loss, and we extend our deepest
condolences to her immediate family, the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, her
constituents in Ward C1, and all who had the privilege of working with her. Her
legacy of service, courage, and vision will not be forgotten,” the statement
reads.
“The Lagos APC stands in solidarity with the community she
served and remains committed to upholding the values she so strongly believed
in.”
