Lawal died on Thursday in Lagos, aged 61.

In a statement issued in Abeokuta on Friday, the partyโ€™s Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye said Lawalโ€™s death was a sad one for the party, as he served diligently in various capacities while alive.

Oladunjoye described Lawal as a dedicated party man who diligently carried out his assignments effectively and efficiently to the best of his ability.

โ€œAnyone who came across Sola Lawal while alive will attest to the fact that he was a burst of energy, amiable and jovial.

โ€œOn behalf of the All Progressives Congress, Ogun State, we mourn the departed party chieftain, who has since been buried according to Islamic rites.

โ€œWe sympathise with the families, relatives, associates and friends of the deceased and pray that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
