A popular chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State and federal lawmaker, Hon Adedayo Omolafe, is dead.

Naija News reports that Omolafe, the lawmaker representing Akure South/Akure North Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, died around 2 am on Monday.

It was learned that Omolafe popularly called ‘Expensive’ was still active through the weekend before giving up the ghost in his home in Akure, the state capital.

According to one of his close associates, the lawmaker was not sick as he was with his constituents on Sunday.

“Expensive was not sick, we were still together yesterday (Sunday) morning, this is so sad, a terrible blow dealt on Akure,” he said.
