‘It Is A Devastating Blow’ – Oyo APC Mourns Chairman Omodewu
Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the passing of its chairman, Isaac Omodewu, as a devastating blow and a colossal loss not only to the party but the entire country.
Ibadan Media recalls that the Otu-born lawyer, Omodewu, reportedly died in the late hours of Sunday, in the United States, where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness since November 2023.
The state APC in a statement by its publicity secretary, Olawale Sadare, said despite Omoodewu’s illness, he had kept in touch with friends, associates and most Oyo APC stakeholders until he breathed his last on Sunday at the age of 61.
Sadare expressed utmost shock and disbelief over the transition of Omodewu who served in various ministries as a commissioner between 2011 and 2019 in the two-term administration of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
He said: “A big Iroko has fallen and a big vacuum has surfaced in our Party (APC). Our late chairman was the epitome of humility, kindness, and selflessness.
“He emerged as the state chairman at a turbulent period and he did his best to stabilize the party. It is even regrettable he transited at this time when his efforts on total reconciliation have begun to yield full results as desired.
“While we commiserate with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our National Chairman, and the entire APC faithful in Nigeria, we pray God to grant him eternal rest and give members of his immediate family, friends, and associates the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
