2023: Ogun PRP Guber candidate David Bamgbose is dead

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Ogun State for the 2023 general elections, David Bamgbose, is dead.

His Personal Assistant, Oduntan Olayemi, who confirmed the sad development, said Bamgbose died at a private hospital in Abeokuta on Friday, at the age of 54.

He said Bamgbose complained of tiredness and was rushed to a hospital around the Olomore area of Abeokuta, where he was referred to the Federal Medical Centre for further checks.

Bamgbose was, however, placed on admission at the Sacred Heart Hospital, where he died.

The deceased died barely one week after his party formally presented him as its governorship candidate for the elections.

At the presentation, held at Iwe-Iroyin Press Centre in Abeokuta, he was optimistic about his party’s chances at the polls and spoke about his plans for the state.

Bamgbose had described himself as a better choice for the people of Ogun State “in all ramifications coupled with the fact that PRP is a party that identifies with the masses and less privileged in the society.”
