A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mr. Dele Philips has expressed sadness at the sudden death of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye.
The Ikere-born versatile politician died on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti.
The former House of Representatives aspirant for Ekiti Central Federal Constituency 2 said the late Speaker played significant roles in the existence of the APC which he said was a great encouragement for upcoming generations in the party.
The party chieftain stated that the Speaker added a high degree of value to legislative business which resulted in the various developments witnessed in the state.

In his words, “The death of Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye was difficult to believe. I commiserate with the Afuye family and the people of Ikere-Ekiti and the entire state. May the Lord give everyone of us the fortitude to bear this loss”.
