PDP, Atiku Mourn National Vice Chairman’s Demise

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said it is grief-stricken over the death of its national vice chairman (South West) and former Osun State PDP chairman, Hon. Soji Adagunodo.

The party described Adagunodo as a very courageous leader, dedicated and fearless partyman, true democrat, brilliant lawmaker, selfless administrator and grass root mobilizer who dedicated his resources, intellect and energy towards the wellbeing of the people in line with the ideals of the PDP.

“As a Student Union Activist, two-time member of the Osun State House of Assembly, State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, PDP Osun State Chairman and later National Vice Chairman (South West) of our great Party, Hon. Adagunodo distinguished himself in all spheres as a statesman with uncommon commitment to duty,” the national publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba said in a statement.

Ologungaba added that as the National Vice Chairman (South West), Adagunodo worked tirelessly with other PDP leaders in the effort to rebrand and strengthen our great Party in the bid to rescue, rebuild and redirect our nation from the misrule of the APC.

His death is indeed a big blow which has created a huge vacuum in our Party in Osun State, the South West Zone and the national level.

Similarly, PDP presidential candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has described Adagunodo’s passing as a loss of a patriot and political asset.

Atiku, in a condolence message released by his Media Office in Abuja yesterday, said the late Adagunodo, who died in America after a brief illness, was a committed community steward, people-oriented politician, great parliamentarian and political administrator.

The Wazirin Adamawa commiserates with the PDP family both at the national and Osun State on the sad loss of their illustrious son.

“I really feel the deep pain of my in-laws, the Obokun people of Ijeshaland and everyone in Osun State at this moment of grief. May the Almighty God repose the soul of our beloved brother, and comfort his nuclear and extended families, friends and political allies.
