FORMER chieftain of the
National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) and Second Republic minister, Dr Wahab
Dosunmu, is dead.
He died at a United States
of America hospital Sunday night after a brief illness. He was aged 74.
Details of his death were
sketchy as of press time.
The late politician was one
of those who fought for the actualization of the June 12, 1993 presidential
mandate of late Chief M.K.O Abiola through NADECO.
In 1999, he aspired to
govern Lagos but lost the ticket to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He won election into
the Senate on the banner of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and later defected
to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the end of his term in 2003.
Contacted, former Lagos
State Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Murtala Ashorobi, confirmed the politician’s
death.
