The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed deep shock over the death of its chairman in Oyo state, Barr. Isaac Ajiboye Omodewu.
National Publicity Secretary (NPS) of the party, Barr. Felix Morka said the APC has lost a dedicated leader who worked very hard for the growth of the party in the state.
Morka noted that the fallen politician apart from being a successful lawyer, was also an administrator who distinguished himself when he served as Commissioner in Oyo state.
“Until his passing, Omodewu was an accomplished politician, cerebral lawyer and shrewd administrator who served meritoriously, first, as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, and later, as Commissioner for Lands and Housing in the administration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State.
“Our great Party has lost a dedicated leader who worked tirelessly for the growth and success of APC in Oyo State, the South West region and, indeed, the entire country. The late Omodewu will be sorely missed.
“As the Party mourns, we take solace in the enduring example of selfless service and patriotism the late Omodewu represented.
“Our solemn thoughts and prayers are with his family, the state chapter of our great Party, the government and good people of Oyo State at this difficult time”.
The party, while praying that God grants the deceased eternal rest, also extended its condolences to the Forum of APC State Chairmen over the demise of their eminent colleague.
