It was a sad day in the morning of Wednesday, January 8, in Ogun state as Saibu Adeosun Mulero, a nominee of Governor Dapo Abiodun, died moments before his screening and eventual confirmation.
Mulero was nominated by the governor for the position of chairman of the caretaker committee for Ipokia local government area and was to be screened by the state's House of Assembly.
The late Mulero was one of the 20 politicians nominated to fill the local government councils in the state.
The Nation reports that the late politician reportedly dressed up for the screening in Abeokuta, but decided to take a nap from which he never woke up.
The late graduate of mass communication is survived by wife, Mulikat and three kids.
