A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State and former Commissioner for Information in Lucky Igbinedion’s administration, Hon. Charles Idahosa, has passed on at the age of 72.
Idahosa, who was an outspoken politician, also served as political adviser to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for eight years.
The circumstances of his death were hazy at press time, as he was said to be full of life early yesterday.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has condoled with the Idahosa family of Ehor in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area over the demise of its patriarch, Hon. Charles Idahosa, aka Charly Tempo.

The governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Patrick Ebojele, expressed shock at the sudden passing of Hon. Idahosa and described him as a strong party leader and eminent Edo indigene who has given a lot for the growth and development of the state.
He eulogised the late Hon. Idahosa, who in times past was a commissioner, board member, and special adviser, and a genuine party stalwart who believed in the establishment of institutions and gave his all towards entrenching these beliefs.
Governor Okpebholo prayed for the repose of his soul and for God to comfort his wife, children, family, and the people of Ehor for this great loss.
