Cross-Party Condolences: Oyo PDP Honors Late APC Chairman Omodewu

The Oyo State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Barrister Ajiboye Isaac Omodewu, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State. The news of his death, which occurred in the United States, was announced earlier today.

In a heartfelt statement signed by the Chairman, Secretary, and Acting PRO of the Oyo State PDP, the party described Omodewu’s death as a colossal loss to the people of Oyo State. The statement highlighted Omodewu’s significant contributions as a community leader, political figure, and commissioner who served in various ministries, including Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Physical Planning and Urban Development, and Lands, Housing, and Survey.

The PDP emphasized that Omodewu’s departure will be deeply felt across Oyo State. The party has directed its members to mourn and pray for the repose of his soul. Additionally, the PDP extended its heartfelt condolences to the APC, friends, and family of the deceased during this difficult time.

According to the statement:

“The loss of a loved one is always difficult, and losing a community leader, father, and political figure whose guidance many relied upon is a profound loss that will resonate for a long time.

“The death of Barrister Omodewu is indeed a sad one for us. His passing marks the end of a political camaraderie, brotherhood, and friendship, but we take solace in the fact that he lived a life of fulfillment and service to God and humanity.

“As a party, we have directed our members to mourn his loss and have enjoined them to pray for the family he left behind. We also stand in solidarity with the All Progressives Congress, of which he was the chairman until his death, and we pray that God will prevent future occurrences.”

It is notable that the late chairman of the APC, Barrister Isaac Omodewu, and the Oyo State People’s Democratic Party chairman, Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro, hail from the same town, Otu, in Itesiwaju Local Government of Oke Ogun.

Barrister Omodewu, who became the APC Chairman in October 2021, passed away at the age of 61. His death marks a significant loss to both the political landscape and the community he served with dedication.
