Omodewu Died When His Reconciliatory Efforts Begun Fruiting — Oyo APC

The All Progressives Congress APC in Oyo state has described the passing of its Chairman, Barrister Isaac Ajiboye Omodewu, as a devastating blow and a collosal loss not only to the party but the entire Nigeria.

The Otu-born lawyer, Omodewu, reportedly died in the late hours of yesterday in the United States where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness since November 2024 even as he kept in touch with friends, associates and most Oyo APC stakeholders until he breathed his last on Sunday. He was 61 years old.

In a statement issued today and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC expressed utmost shock and disbelief over the transition of Omodewu who serve in various ministries as a Commissioner between 2011 and 2019 in the two-term administration of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

“A big Iroko has fallen and a big vacuum has surfaced in our Party (APC). Our late chairman was an 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.” Oyo APC stated.
