The final journey of late Professor Tunde Samuel, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), from the earth, has commenced with service of songs held in his honour on Thursday.
The event had in attendance top members of the party including the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa, former Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, friends, associates, family members and a representative from the Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa, where the deceased once served.
