Lagos deputy governor-elect, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has lost his
father, Oba Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat.
In a tweet on Sunday, Hamzat stated: ”Today, I lost my
father Oba Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat, Olu of Afowowa. I thank Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful for the life he lived.
One of the greatest gifts a father can give his children is
courage & belief in their dreams. Thank you Father for believing in ours.”
Obafemi Hamzat ran with Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu in the Lagos
governorship race which they won under the banner of the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
The late Hamzat was a banker and leader of the popular
Justice Forum in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State.
Governor-elect, Sanwo-Olu commiserated with his deputy in a
tweet on the passing away of the octogenarian: ”I commiserate with the family
of my friend @drobafemihamzat on the calling to glory of his father, Oba
Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat, Olu of Afowowa.
We are thankful for his life. He was an elder statesman who
dedicated his life to the development of Lagos. We will miss his counsel.”
