A former Majority Leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Kehinde Subair, has passed away.

Subair, who served in the Assembly from 2011 to 2019, died on Thursday night in London, United Kingdom, at the age of 60.

Senator Sharafadeen Alli of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo South, confirmed his passing in a statement on Friday. The statement, signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, was made available to newsmen in Ibadan.

“Hon. Subair was a dedicated and principled leader whose efforts in strengthening our party and uplifting his constituents will always be remembered,” Alli said.

He noted that Subair’s death has left a significant void in the political landscape of Oyo State and urged the APC family to honor his legacy by upholding the values he represented.

The senator extended his condolences to Subair’s family, his colleagues in the Former Parliamentarians Forum, and the APC leadership.

He prayed for Almighty Allah to grant him Aljanah Firdaus and give his loved ones the strength to bear the loss.
