I have lost a friend, Folarin mourns Oyo APC chairman 

The former Senate Leader and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Teslim Folarin, on Monday, expressed great shock at the death of the state party chairman, Isaac Omodewu, who died in the United States of America.

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 said the party, and of course, himself would miss Omodewu’s leadership qualities and dedication.

He, therefore, prayed that God Almighty gives his immediate family, the state party family and friends the fortitude to bear the great loss.
