The Lagos State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday condoled with the former Minister of State for Defence, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro, over the death of his mother, Alhaja Wosilat Obanikoro.

Alhaja Obanikoro died at the age 95 years on Saturday at her residence in Lagos.

She was buried same day at the Ikoyi Cemetery according to Islamic rites.

Mr Taofik Gani, the state’s Publicity Secretary of the party, said in Lagos that the party shared in the grief of the Obanikoros at this point in time.

He said the family was important to the party because the former minister was a chieftain of the party, who had held many political offices on the party’s platform.
