Again, death has silenced the cadence of the day with the quiet of the night. It has claimed the life of Senator Adebayo Sikiru Osinowo also known as Pepper.
He was a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly. He was the Senator representing Lagos East at the 9th Nigerian National Assembly. He died today after a prolonged battle with corona virus at Lekki Isolation centre.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is distraught and so are many who were privileged to come in contact with the deceased while he was alive.
Until his death, Osinowo chaired the senate committee on commerce, industries and investment.
He started his political career as the youth chairman of the then Social Democratic Party (SDP) – the platform under which late Moshood Abiola, presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, contested the annulled election.
Osinowo started out as a civil servant at the federal ministry of works in 1977. He was managing director of NITAL International, Extreme Piling, Construction Company Ltd and NIMCO Dredging Company.
