Oyo Rep Oseni Bids Farewell to Oyo Political Stalwart, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo

A member of the House of Representatives, Engr. Aderemi Oseni has paid glowing tribute to the late elder statesman and political icon, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, describing his passing as the end of an era in Oyo State politics.

The lawmaker, who represents Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency, extolled Adeojo’s lifelong commitment to the advancement of democracy and community development in the state and beyond.

In a statement released through his media aide, Idowu Ayodele, on Friday, in Ibadan, Oseni, who is also the Chairman, House Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) expressed deep sorrow over the demise of the former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), noting that Adeojo’s legacy of selfless service, mentorship, and unwavering patriotism will continue to inspire generations of political leaders in the region.

“Alhaji Yekini Adeojo was not only a political leader but also a symbol of courage and unwavering loyalty to the good of Oyo State. His contributions to the socio-political growth of our dear state, especially during the formative years of the Fourth Republic, remain indelible,” he said.

The lawmaker stated that the elder statesman was always full of wisdom and generously offered guidance to younger politicians irrespective of party affiliation.

“His doors were always open. He believed in giving others a sense of belonging. We have lost a father figure,” he added.

The APC chieftain, Oseni, who shares the same Ido Local Government Area as the late Adeojo, extended his condolences to the deceased’s immediate family, the Ibadan community, and the broader political circle in Oyo State, urging them to find solace in his impactful legacy.

He prayed for the peaceful repose of Adeojo’s soul and fortitude for the family to bear the irreparable loss.
