“He was a vibrant party man whose contributions to the growth and stability of the APC in Lagos State will not be forgotten,” Oladejo said.

The party leadership also extended condolences to the deceased’s family, friends and political associates, praying for strength for them to bear6yyy the loss.

The Lagos APC added that it remained united in mourning the sudden passing of the party official, noting that Yesiro would be remembered for his service, commitment and belief in the progressive cause.
