The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has announced the postponement of its planned inauguration of state executives following the sudden death of Yesiro Karamo, who was recently elected as the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the party. Yesiro passed away just hours after attending the Lagos State APC congress, which took place at Mobolaji Johnson Stadium in Onikan, Lagos, where he was officially elected to his position. The news of his death has sent shockwaves through the party, which is now grappling with the loss of a committed and passionate member.

In a statement released by the party's Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC expressed deep sorrow over Yesiro’s unexpected demise, calling it a tragic loss for the party and acknowledging his contributions to progressive politics. The statement highlighted that Yesiro's energy and commitment were invaluable to the APC, particularly during a crucial period for the party as they geared up for future political engagements. His recent election was seen as a hopeful sign for the party's direction, making his passing even more poignant.

The postponement of the inauguration reflects not only the respect the APC holds for its fallen member but also the need to process this loss as a collective. As the party navigates this sorrowful period, it must also look ahead to ensure that Yesiro's vision for progressive politics continues to thrive within the APC. His untimely death serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the important role individuals play within political structures, especially in times of transition.
