Ogun PRP candidate David Bamgbose passes on
Prof. David Olufemi Bamgbos, the Peoples Redemption Party's (PRP) candidate for governor of Ogun State in the general election of 2023, has passed away.

Six days after obtaining the party's governorship nomination, the 54-year-old philanthropist and professor of education passed away on Friday at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Lantoro, Abeokuta, where he had been hospitalised following a brief illness.

According to reports, the late Bamgbose had complained of persistent fatigue on Thursday, which prompted his family to take him to a private hospital in the Federal Housing Estate, Olomore neighbourhood of Abeokuta, where he was then transferred to the Federal Medical Central (FMC), Idi-Aba, Abeokuta.

According to the incident, the late politician was later admitted at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro, Abeokuta, where he was given oxygen until Friday, when he later passed away. The deceased's personal assistant and an assistant senior pastor of Peace and Love Church, Oduntan Olayemi, confirmed this.

He complained of being exhausted on Thursday, so we decided to take him to a hospital close to Olomore, according to Olayeni. We were directed to FMC for more examinations.

“We opted for Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro because of the urgency and he was admitted at the emergency ward where he was administer oxygen till Friday, when he died “.

“When I got back to the hospital yesterday morning and I met him breathing too fast and heavily. I was at where I went to get him some prescribed medication when he has passed on”.

Bamgbose, who recently left the People's Democratic Party (PDP), was the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGAgovernorship )'s candidate in the state's 2015 election. However, at the PRP's primary held last Saturday at the State Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Iwe Irohin, Abeokuta, he later emerged as the party's governorship candidate for the 2023 election.

The late professor of European America University is left by his wife, Mrs. Mary Bamgbose, and six children. He was the Minister-In-Charge of Peace and Love Church of God in the Ogbe neighbourhood of Abeokuta at the time of his death.

Olaposi Oginni, the leader of the New Nigeria People's Party, called Bamgbose's death as shocking in response to it.

Oginni, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, condole with the family of Bamgbose and members of his party.

He said, “I received the death of the gubernatorial candidate of PRP Ogun State with rude shock.

“I hereby send my condolences to Prof Bamgbose’s family and the entire PRP members in Ogun State.

“I pray God will give the entire family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss”, Oginni prayed
