He highlighted the major achievements of late Aina, who served as a local government chairman of the council from 1999 to 2003.

These, he said, included the construction of the current edifice, housing the local government secretariat.

The lawmaker representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency II, Ajomale Oladipo, in his remark, said that the former chairman was a leader worthy of emulation and a man of impeccable character.

The Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, noted that the late Aina was a father figure whose legacy remains unmatched.

He thereafter directed the Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko, to write a condolences letter to the family of the deceased.

In a related development, following the recent death of some newly elected councilors in the state, Obasa urged political party holders to prioritise their health above any political pursuit.
