The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the death of a former Minister for Housing and one-time chieftain of National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, Senator Wahab Dosunmu, as a big loss to the party.

The late politician, 75, represented Lagos Senatorial District in the National Assembly from 1999-2003.

A former Ambassador to Malyasia, Dosunmu who in his lifetime had a Lagos gubernatorial ambition, passed away yesterday in the United States.

“The death is a big loss to our party at this time. Indeed, he was one of our aces for the 2015 elections.

“May his soul rest in peace,” the statement added.
