Ogun APC spokesman, Tunde Oladunjoye, is dead

The spokesman for the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tunde Oladunjoye, has been confirmed dead.

It was gathered that Oladunjoye died on Friday, April 4, 2025.

Speaking on Oladunjoye’s death via a statement on Friday, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun described the demise of the APC spokesman as a terrible loss.

Abiodun, who said he received the news of the demise of the APC spokesman and chief consultant to the Ogun State Government with disbelief and shock, expressed sorrow that the dedicated and dynamic politician died in the prime of his life and career.

He described Oladunjoye as a forthright, grounded, and a consummate politician who firmly stood by any cause he believed in.

Abiodun added that Oladunjoye was a stabilising force in both Ogun APC and government circles.

Abiodun stated: “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.

“This is tragic news that is, frankly, difficult to fathom; one death too many, but still we acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God who has chosen to call him home at this time.

“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 highly accomplished spokesman whose brilliance was never in doubt.

“He was a voice of courage, and easily the best spokesman Ogun APC has ever produced. His contributions to the modest successes this Administration has recorded in various sectors cannot be overemphasized.

”His doggedness, tenacity and loyalty to the cause he believed shone through at all times, and there is no doubt that he contributed a lot in making Ogun APC a big brand. He was frank, down to heart, forthright, and focused.

“Tunde Oladunjoye was a good man. He will be sorely missed.

“I extend my deepest condolences to his nuclear family, the Ogun APC family and to his friends.”
