The Statement reads: ”The news of the death of the leader of our great party, the APC, in Ido local government, Alh Bashiru Babalola ( Great Babs) came as a rude shock. He was one of the committed leaders of our party who has contributed immensely to the party’s progress and development.
“His sudden departure is painful. He was a core party man whose penchant for peace and unity was always very admirable. Undoubtedly, we have lost one of our great mobilisers. He will be sorely missed.

The finality of death is a reality that is very hard to accept. We can only urge the family to take solace in the great work Babalola did while he was here with us.” The Guber hopeful added.
Barr Akeem Agbaje , who extended condolences to the APC members, and the entire Ido Local Government Area, prayed to God to grant the late Babalola eternal rest.
