All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo has described the demise of its chairman, Isaac Omodewu, as devastating and a colossal loss to the party.

Omodewu died in the late hours of Sunday in the United States where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness since November 2023.

A statement by Publicity Secretary, Oyo APC, Mr Olawale Sadare expressed utmost shock and disbelief over the death of Omodewu.

The statement read: “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 during a turbulent period and 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,” Oyo APC stated.
