The untimely death of Honourable Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga, Deputy Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, has plunged Remoland and the political community into deep mourning.

In a heartfelt tribute, Senator Daniel lamented the loss of an exceptional politician whose life served as a beacon of hope and inspiration, particularly for women in Remoland. “She had so much confidence in me, and her painful departure could not have come at a more difficult time for me.

Honourable Onanuga was known for her vibrant personality and unyielding “Can Do” spirit, qualities that endeared her to many both within and beyond her constituency. Reflecting on her legacy, Senator Daniel stated that she was not just a politician but an individual who made a remarkable difference, with her presence and impact felt in every endeavor she undertook.
“Remoland has lost a great inspiration for women’s aspirations. She was always full of life and commanded significant respect. Her absence will be deeply felt, not just in Sagamu but throughout the entire Remo community,” he remarked.
Despite the sorrow of her loss, Senator Daniel expressed hope that Honourable Onanuga had gone to take her much-needed rest with her Maker, although her departure was sudden and unexpected. He prayed for comfort for her family and strength to endure this irreplaceable loss.
“Adieu, Honourable Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga! Rest in the bosom of your Maker!” Senator Daniel concluded, paying his final respects to the late lawmaker.
Her passing leaves a substantial void in the political landscape of Remoland and serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. Honourable Onanuga’s legacy, however, remains a guiding light for those inspired by her indomitable spirit and remarkable contributions to society.
