Prominent Political Commentator, Jesutega Onokpasa, is dead.
The Lawyer and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, passed on Monday.
His death was disclosed on his X account on Tuesday, by a pro-APC crusader, Okezie Atani, who revealed that the prominent political commentator is survived by his wife and children.
He wrote, “We lost Barr. Jesutega Onokpasa, may his soul rest in perfect peace.
A Facebook page named Renewed Hope United Kingdom also wrote a tribute entitled “A Farewell to a Passionate Advocate: Honouring Jesutega Onokpasa’s Legacy” to announce the late APC chieftain’s demise.
It wrote, “The passing of Barrister Jesutega Onokpasa is a profound loss to the Nigerian political and legal landscape. As a dedicated lawyer and political commentator, he was deeply engaged in shaping discourse and advocating for his beliefs.
“His contributions as a member of the APC Publicity Committee and the APC Presidential Campaign Council in 2023 reflected his commitment to his party and the nation. Onokpasa’s voice, whether in support or critique, was a vital part of Nigeria’s democratic conversation, and his absence will be deeply felt. May his family, friends, and colleagues find strength and solace in this difficult time.
“May His Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. Amen.”
It would be recalled that the Late Onokpasa was an APC’s Presidential Campaign Council member in 2023.
He also served on the APC’s Publicity Committee.
He gained national attention for his political commentary and staunch support for President Bola Tinubu, often appearing on TV to defend the administration.
He, however, became one of the President’s most bitter critics, beginning from the day Tinubu appointed Daniel Bwala a Presidential Adviser. Jesutega could not endure the appointment and noted that Bwala was one of those who stood against Tinubu during the Campaigns and called him unprintable names.
