APC IDO LOCAL GOVERNMENT MOURN CHIEF YEKINI ADEOJO* _… we lost a political titan, a great leader and illustrious son._

The All Progressives Congress [APC] in Ido local government, Oyo State, has expressed shock on the passing of Chief Yekini Adeojo, a prominent politician, elder statesman and an illustrious son of Ido Local Government in Oyo State.

The Party described Chief Adeojo’s death as a significant loss to Ido local government, Oyo State and the Nation, acknowledging his contributions to politics, religion and community development.

The Party described the death of Baba Adeojo as a huge loss to the political landscape of Oyo State and the Nation Nigeria as a whole.

“Chief Yekini Adeojo was a distinguished leader whose dedication to the progress of Ido Local Government, Oyo State and Nigeria was evident throughout his life. His passing is a great loss to us in Ido local government.

“The departure of Chief Yekini Adeojo has left a great vacuum within the political landscape so difficult to fill, as he can be described as one of the remaining few of such great men of his generation”.

“No doubt his type of person and style of politics fused together is rare, quite commendable and worthy of emulation, he was such a highly respected and benevolent leader within the political landscape and his other various commitments in business, faith and community traditional leadership systems”.

“Like a colossus, Chief Adeojo never deviated from his commitment and loyalty to his conservative political leaning and has provided quality dependable leadership virtues to several people who had the privilege to have related with him till he breathed his last”.

“Baba Adeojo was ever ready to support any interest that will benefit humanity and Oyo State in particular. His influence cuts across party affiliations which endeared him to several people within and outside politics”.

“We will sorely miss his invaluable contributions to the political system, religious and traditional institutions which he cherished with passion throughout his sojourn here on earth”.

The Party extended sympathies to the immediate Adeojo family particularly Hon Sherrif Adeojo The Executive Chairman Ido local government, friends, religious body, associates, community and particularly the entire Ido local government praying for comfort during this difficult time.

Chief Adeojo, who passed away on Friday morning in Ibadan, was a former Deputy National Chairman [South] of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] and the Seriki Musulumi of Yorubaland. He was also the PDP governorship candidate in Oyo State during the 1999 elections.

“The Party prayed the rest of us will find solace in the great virtues and legacies of benevolent leadership Baba Adeojo epitomized during his lifetime. May Almighty Allah grant him Aljannah Fridaus.”
