THE Executive Chairman of Igando-Ikotun LCDA, Comrade Lasisi Ayinde Akinsanya has commiserated with the Nelson family and the entire All Progressives Congress (APC) party on the demise of a great grassroots and frontline politician, Chief Kemi Nelson who passed on after a brief illness on Sunday, July 17, 2022, at the age of 66.
In his condolence message on Monday, July 18, 2022, Akinsanya said; “Chief Nelson stood for unity and was in forefront of championing campaigns that favoured the lives of APC members and the masses. She never gave up on any responsibility.
“She was the only female serving member of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC). Her contributions to the successes of APC in Lagos state and Nigeria is beyond measure.”
Akinsanya highlighted the contributions of Chief Nelson as a former Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in Lagos State, the State Women Leader, National Deputy Women Leader of APC, and former Executive Director of the Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund, remarking that she was a grassroots mobiliser and an achiever who left her footprints wherever she served.
Praying to Almighty Allah for the repose of the late Kemi Nelson, Akinsanya said, “Her legacy will stand as an example to all of us to persist in our pursuit of progress because Mrs Nelson was a woman worthy of emulation.”
