Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Publicity Secretary and Chief Consultant to the Ogun State Government, Mr. Tunde Oladunjoye.
Describing the death as a “terrible and profound loss,” the Governor said he received the news with “shock and disbelief.”
“This is tragic news that is, frankly, difficult to fathom; one death too many,” Abiodun said in a statement. “Still, we acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God who has chosen to call him home at this time.”
The Governor praised Oladunjoye’s sterling qualities, highlighting his unwavering commitment to the APC and the Ogun State government.
“As a party man and aide, Oladunjoye never believed in half measures,” Abiodun noted. “He went out of his way to defend the programmes, policies, philosophy and image of the Ogun State Government under our leadership.”
He added: “Tunde Oladunjoye was gallant, highly resourceful, uncommonly cerebral and hard working. His brilliance was never in doubt. He was a voice of courage, and easily the best spokesman Ogun APC has ever produced.”
Abiodun further stated that Oladunjoye played a vital role in the successes recorded by the present administration in various sectors. “His doggedness, tenacity and loyalty to the cause he believed in shone through at all times,” he said.
“He contributed immensely to making Ogun APC a big brand. He was frank, down to earth, forthright, and focused. Tunde Oladunjoye was a good man. He will be sorely missed.”
Governor Abiodun extended his condolences to Oladunjoye’s immediate family, the Ogun APC, and all who were impacted by his life and service. “I extend my deepest condolences to his nuclear family, the Ogun APC family and to his friends. Eternal rest grant him, O Lord!” he added.
