The State party chairman, Isaac Omodewu, passed away in the United States of America on Monday, Teslim Folarin, a former Senate Leader and governorship candidate of the All-Progressives Congress in Oyo State expressed his great shock at the news.
Folarin, in a statement signed in Ibadan, the state capital, said, “I received, with rude shock, the sad news of the death of the state chairman of our great party, APC Oyo State, Omodewu.
“Omodewu passed away in the USA where he was receiving treatment for an ailment. Until his last moments, he was a diligent, dutiful, committed and loyal party leader, a wonderful family man and a friend whose loyalty to party matters was unflagging.
“His ability to organize and restructure the party, even in the face of daunting challenges was awesome. To his credit, the state APC was able to achieve the great successes recorded during the last general elections.
“He was equally instrumental to the resilience demonstrated by the state APC during the last Local Government Elections where the Oyo APC presented candidates in all the 33 Local Governments for the position of Chairmen and the 351 wards as Councilors.”
Folarin stated that Omodewu’s commitment and leadership abilities would be missed by both the party and of course, himself.
Thus, he appealed to God Almighty to grant the state party family, friends, and his immediate family the strength to bear the immense loss.
