How Lateef Jakande died 24 hours after his APC registration exercise

Former Governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, died 24 hours after revalidating his APC membership status.

This was made know by his son, Seyi on Thursday.

Jakanda died Thursday morning at age 91. However, Seyi said he was not sick.

He told the Nation that, “He was not sick. In fact, he completed his APC registration exercise on Wednesday. Usually, my dad returns to sleep after breakfast and so, when he finished taking his breakfast (pap), he went back to sleep.

“It was around 11 am that an aide checked on him and discovered he wasn’t breathing. We called a doctor, and it was confirmed he had passed on. He died in his sleep.

“He was full of life. He was caring and made sure that everyone is okay. My dad’s only regret is the fact that Nigeria is the way it is despite all the resources.

“There was no sign that anything was going to happen to him. He sleeps more and after breakfast, he goes back to sleep and wakes up for lunch. He is fond of newspapers. He never gets tired of reading. Baba’s idea of governance is totally different from what is obtained today.”
