The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has grieved over the death of one of its founding members, former Minister of Commerce and Industry and former Minister of State for Finance, Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye, describing his death as a colossal national loss.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said Senator Martins-Kuye, a member of the Third Republic Senate as well as the party’s candidate in the 1999 governorship election in Ogun state, was a highly courageous democrat and dedicated statesman, who sacrificed his time, energy and resources towards the stability and development of the nation.
The party further stated that Senator Martins-Kuye was a thorough technocrat whose commitment and sense of duty as minister of commerce and industry as well as that of finance stood him out in service, particularly in championing landmark reforms to reposition the sectors.
The PDP also said contributions of Senator Martins-Kuye to the growth and development of the party remained indelible both in his home state, Ogun, and at the national level, where he played exceptional roles with other patriots in laying a solid foundation for our great party as well as the entrenchment of democracy in the nation.
The party commiserated with the Martins-Kuye family, the PDP fold in Ogun state as well as the people and government of Ogun state and prayed God to comfort and grant all the fortitude to bear this loss.
