Former Lagos State Deputy Governor Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire is in deep mourning after the sudden death of her only son, Dr. Oluwafemi Olawale Adefulire. The UK-based medical doctor reportedly died early Wednesday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, following an undisclosed surgical procedure. He is survived by his wife and children, and the circumstances of the surgery remain unclear.
The news has sent shockwaves through the Lagos political community, especially within the All Progressives Congress (APC), where Orelope-Adefulire is a respected leader. In a condolence message, APC Lagos spokesperson Seye Oladejo said, “It’s sadly true. APC is devastated,” adding that “Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire is an exceptionally good person. The entire party has been thrown into mourning over this humongous tragedy. May his precious soul rest in peace.” As of press time, burial arrangements have not been announced.
This is sad! May his soul rest in perfect peace. Abiyamo,e ku iroju. May God grant you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Our prayers are on you.
