The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, has mourned its Chairman, Isaac Ajiboye Omodewu who died at the age of 61 in the United States of America.

The APC Chairman who died on Sunday, had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment for almost a year before he took his last breath.

In a statement issued on Monday, APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Olawale Sadare, said the death of Omodewu, had left a vacuum.

Sadare said: “A big Iroko has fallen and a big vacuum has surfaced in our Party (APC). Our late chairman was an epitome of humility, kindness and selflessness. He emerged as the state chairman at a turbulent period and he did his best to stabilise the party. It is even regrettable he transited at this time when his efforts on total reconciliation have begun to yield full results as desired.

“While we commiserate with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our National Chairman and the entire APC faithful in Nigeria, we pray God to grant him eternal rest and give members of his immediate family, friends and associates the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss”
