The chairman of the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajiboye Omodewu, has died. Omodewu, who hailed from Otu in Itesiwaju local government, passed away about a year after undergoing treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
The late APC chairman, who held dual citizenship of Nigeria and the United States, was a former Commissioner under the administration of the late former Governor Abiola Ajimobi. He had recently completed his law degree and law school.
APC Publicity Secretary in Oyo State, Olawale Sadare, confirmed the death of the party’s chairman.
Omodewu’s demise has left a void in the state’s political landscape, as the party will now begin the run to get another chairman.
