Senator Solomon Adeola, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State and representative of Ogun West, has expressed sadness over the death of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Babatunde Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo.
Drivetvnews gathered that Adeola described the actor’s death following his illness as a major loss to the creative and entertainment industry, Ogun State and Nigeria.
In a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, the senator said Hassan was not only a respected actor but also someone who supported his political cause and that of the people.
“I am greatly saddened by the death of a brother who believed and worked assiduously for my cause and the cause of our people,” Adeola said.
He commiserated with the late actor’s immediate family, particularly acknowledging their efforts to care for him throughout his illness.
“I sympathise with his immediate family for their efforts and struggles to keep the dearly departed alive following his illness. God knows best in all circumstances,” he added.
Adeola said Ogogo would be remembered for using filmmaking and other forms of positive advocacy to promote a better society.
He described the late actor’s contributions to society as a lasting legacy worthy of emulation and assured the family of his continued support during the mourning period.
“The good deeds of the patriarch of the family to the society will not be forgotten,” the senator said.
Adeola prayed for the peaceful repose of Hassan’s soul and asked God to give his family the strength to cope with the loss.
