Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola, OFR, Nigeria’s immediate past High Commissioner to the United Kingdom (2021–2023), has expressed profound sadness over the death of Hon. Lukman Olufemi Adiro, describing the loss as a painful void for Abeokuta North and Ogun State.
In a statement, Isola said he received the news of Adiro’s passing with a “deeply heavy heart.” He described the deceased as a distinguished son of Abeokuta North Local Government, a committed chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a dedicated public servant.
Adiro served as a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing Abeokuta North State Constituency between 2007 and 2011. Until his death, he held the position of Full-Time Commissioner I in the Ogun State Local Government Service Commission.
Isola noted that Adiro demonstrated an enduring commitment to governance and institutional development throughout his public service career.
“Beyond our shared political affiliation, Hon. Adiro and I hailed from the same local government, making his departure particularly painful and personal,” Isola said. He added that the demise is not only a loss to Adiro’s immediate family and political associates but also to Abeokuta North and Ogun State at large.
Isola prayed that Almighty Allah grant Adiro’s soul eternal rest, comfort his family, and give strength to all those mourning the loss. He expressed the hope that Adiro’s years of service, dedication, and contributions would remain a worthy part of his enduring legacy.
“Adieu, Hon. Lukman Olufemi Adiro. May Almighty Allah grant you Al-Jannatul Firdaus,” Isola concluded.
