Following the sad news of the death of the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Bayo Osinowo, popularly known as ‘Pepperito,’ many social media users have reacted to the news, identifying with his family.

The news of  ‘Pepperito’s’ death, has gained a spot on the trend on Twitter and hitting several searches on google.

While the cause of his death is yet to be known, a few persons have speculated that the Senator died from coronavirus complications while others claimed it was a heart attack. None of this, however, is yet to be verified.

For those who pointed out that he had died from the virus, they used the opportunity to remind the many Nigerians who believe that the virus does not exist or is not in Nigeria that the coronavirus is very real as they urged Nigerians to stay safe and away from public places.

While many used the opportunity to remind themselves that life is short and anyone can die at any moment, others shared some political points as it concerned the position he held before he passed on. A few people, however, pointed out that he may not have been very impactful to his constituency while he was alive and hearty.

 

‘Pepperito,’ who passed on at the age of 64, was a 4-time lawmaker at the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Kosofe Constituency before he won a Senate seat at the National Assembly in February 2019. He was subsequently appointed as the Chairman, Senate Committee on Commerce, Industry, and Investment.
