A prominent politician and former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Yekini Adeojo, has passed away.
Family sources confirmed his demise, although details surrounding his death remain unclear.
Adeojo, who hailed from Ido Local Government Area of Ibadan, was a respected figure in Oyo State politics.
He contested the 1999 governorship election under the PDP platform and served as a leader in the party.
Before venturing into politics, Adeojo had a distinguished career in the Nigerian Army, which shaped his disciplined approach to public service.
His son, Sherif Adeojo, currently serves as the Chairman of the Ido Local Government Area.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State had previously commiserated with Adeojo over the death of his mother, Alhaja Ayisatu Larinre Adeojo, who passed away at the age of 127.
