APC Chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa, Dies

Posted by: Quickresponse | June 10, 2025


An All Progressives Congress chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa, is reportedly dead.
\r\nThe lawyer and prominent political commentator died on Monday.
\r\nAnnouncing his demise on his X account on Tuesday, a pro-APC crusader, Okezie Atani, said the prominent political commentator was survived by his wife and children.
\r\nHe wrote, “We lost Barr. Jesutega Onokpasa, may his soul rest in perfect peace.”

A Facebook page named Renewed Hope United Kingdom also wrote a tribute entitled “A Farewell to a Passionate Advocate: Honouring Jesutega Onokpasa’s Legacy” to announce the late APC chieftain’s demise.
\r\nIt wrote, “The passing of Barrister Jesutega Onokpasa is a profound loss to the Nigerian political and legal landscape. As a dedicated lawyer and political commentator, he was deeply engaged in shaping discourse and advocating for his beliefs.

“His contributions as a member of the APC Publicity Committee and the APC Presidential Campaign Council in 2023 reflected his commitment to his party and the nation. Onokpasa’s voice, whether in support or critique, was a vital part of Nigeria’s democratic conversation, and his absence will be deeply felt. May his family, friends, and colleagues find strength and solace in this difficult time.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“May His Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. Amen.”
\r\nOnokpasa, an APC’s Presidential Campaign Council member in 2023, passed away under yet-to-be-disclosed circumstances.
\r\nHe also served on the APC’s Publicity Committee.
\r\nHe gained national attention for his political commentary and staunch support for President Bola Tinubu, often appearing on TV to defend the administration.
