The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has described the death of Lanre Razak, a prominent politician in Lagos, as a major loss to the state and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Obasa said the demise of the politician and chieftain of the APC has left a huge gap that would be difficult to fill in the polity of the state.
According to Obasa, the demise of Chief Razak on Saturday, was at a time when Lagos and the party needed his wisdom and experience more than before.
Obasa said the late politician lived a life that is worthy of emulation.
“He was a marked example for politicians of true loyalty as a politician. He was always there putting in great efforts to the advancement of Lagos State.

He, however, said Razak’s friend, family and the state would take solace in the roles he played for the betterment of the State while he was alive.
“We will forever miss his calm nature, his wisdom, knowledge of the state and political experience.
“As we mourn at this time, my prayer is for God to grant him eternal rest and give us all, including the family and the state, the fortitude to bear this huge loss,” Obasa prayed.
