Tunde Oladunjoye, Ogun APC spokesperson, is dead
Tunde Oladunjoye, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state, is dead.
Oladunjoye, who hailed from Ijebu-Itele in Ijebu East LGA, passed away on Friday.
Before his role as the party’s spokesman, Oladunjoye served as chairman of Ijebu east LGA.
Dapo Abiodun, Ogun governor, described Oladunjoye’s death as a “terrible and devastating loss”.
In a statement late Friday, Abiodun said he received the news with “disbelief and shock”, adding that the spokesperson was a dynamic, “loyal politician” who died in his prime.
“Receiving the news of the departure of our gallant, highly resourceful, uncommonly cerebral and hard-working party spokesman and consultant, Tunde Oladunjoye, was devastating for me,” the statement reads.
“As a party man and aide, Oladunjoye never believed in half measures: he went out of his way to defend the programmes, policies, philosophy and the image of the Ogun State Government under our leadership.
“He was an effective and accomplished spokesman whose brilliance was never in doubt; he was the voice of courage and easily the best spokesman Ogun APC has ever produced.
“His tenacity, doggedness, and loyalty were evident, and he contributed immensely to the growth of our party and the successes of this administration.”
Abiodun extended his condolences to the late politician’s immediate family, the Ogun APC community, and everyone who knew him or had the privilege of working with him.
