The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed grief over the death of Mrs Adebimpe Akintola, Council Manager of Coker Aguda Local Council Development Area, LCDA, of the state.
DAILY POST reports that Akintola died on Monday, September 29, 2025, after a brief illness.
Reacting in a statement on Tuesday, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, described the development as “another sad incident,” noting that it came at a time when the state was still reeling from the recent deaths of other female local government officials.
“APC received with deep shock and sadness the news of the passing of Mrs Adebimpe Akintola, the Council Manager of Coker Aguda LCDA, on Monday, September 29, 2025,” the statement read.
“Her death, coming at a time when the state is still mourning the loss of other distinguished female local government officials in quick succession, is a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the vacuum left behind in public service.
“Mrs Adebimpe Akintola was a committed administrator, a diligent public servant, and a dependable support in grassroots governance whose contributions to the development of her council area will be sorely missed. Her passing is not only a great loss to her family and the Coker Aguda LCDA but also to the Lagos State local government system at large.”
Oladejo, on behalf of the party leadership and members across Lagos, extended condolences to Akintola’s immediate family, the people of Coker Aguda LCDA, the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission, and her colleagues in the local government system.
Mrs Akintola, who also served as Chairman of the Forum of Council Managers in Lagos State, is the fifth female local government official to die since July 2025.
