Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq, National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, and a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, is dead.<\/p>\n

Bamgbose died in the wee hours of Friday after a brief illness.<\/p>\n

One of his close friends and associate, Steve Ikechi, confirmed the sad news to DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

Bamgbose was the Principal Head, God\u2019s Own Chambers, a legal team based in Aba, Abia State.<\/p>\n

He had also declared his interests to run in the 2023 presidential election under the umbrella of the NNPP.<\/p>\n

Also reacting to the sad news, Foundation for Environmental Rights, Advocacy & Development (FENRAD), whose legal team he headed, described Bamgbose as a strong voice on matters of good governance and human rights advocacy.<\/p>\n

Comrade Nelson Nnanna Nwafor, Executive Director of FENRAD, told DAILY POST that Bamgbose was \u201crichly endowed with political sagacity and was consistent in holding governments to account as he lent his voice to the most critical of national and local issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough his intervention and actions, government relaxed many unpopular policies. He was a fine gentleman, very hardworking, a lovely husband, father and friend to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis humble mien, approach and disposition endeared him to many. Throughout his stay on earth, he was truly committed to the promotion and protection of environmental, human and democracy rights which aligned with FENRAD\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made many wins working together through his wise and ever-ready counsel. He led and piloted our legal department with such impeccable professionalism as a lawyer properly called.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are indeed pained by this loss and pray that God, in this trying time, grants his family \u2013 immediate and extended \u2013 the fortitude to bear this huge loss; same we also pray for on his friends, learned colleagues and those who by this exit are pained.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarr. Olusegun Bamgbose will be terribly missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay his gentle soul find rest in the bosom of the Almighty. Adieu to the great iroko, an icon and a towering legal luminary!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
