Press Statement

We Have Lost A Committed Progressive, Akeredolu Mourns Prince Adegboro

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has described the death of Prince Olu Adegboro as a big loss to the State and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor Akeredolu received the news of the death of the APC chieftain with great sadness and rude shock.

The Governor described the late Adegboro as a man of many parts, whose political trajectory exemplified consistency and discipline.

“Prince Adegboro was a committed Progressive. His roles in the enthronement of the democracy we are nurturing today cannot be wished away.

“Baba was a politician of high repute. He pursued excellence in his life time and strived to remain dedicated to the ethos of the progressive family.

“Prince was a renowned radical Student Union Leader during his University days. His activism led to his emergence as the National President of the National Union of Nigerian Students, NUNS, between 1971 and 1972. He signposted courage and determination.

“As a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Army, who retired from the military as a captain in 1978, Baba served the country meritoriously. He dedicated his life to the service of the people and the country. He lived well.

“Late Prince Adegboro left legacies of hard work and professionalism in his different political appointments at various levels. He was Chairman, Adviser and at one time the Commissioner for Information in the State.

“His passion for writing ultimately moulded his enviable inroad into Publishing. He made immeasurable marks on all ends. His death is a big loss to the State and our great party,” the Governor said.

On behalf of the Government and the good people of Ondo State, Governor Akeredolu commiserates with the entire Adegboro family, the APC and, indeed, friends and acquaintances of the late Prince Olu Adegboro.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Adegboro: End of an Era —Ondo APC laments

Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lamented the demise of a highly disciplined and selfless politician; a rallying point in the State chapter, Prince Olu Adegboro.

The State Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, is shocked by the sad news, at the time the ruling party is grappling with political issues that demand elderly counsels and contributions.

In a Statement signed by Alex Kalejaye, Publicity Secretary, Ondo APC, Adetimehin described the departure as end of an era; that of the founding fathers of Nigeria and the new generation.

The party chieftain observed that he served without blemish, as a commissioned officer in the Nigerian Army, a vocal students’ union leader, and Information Commissioner in the Sunshine State.

He said Prince Adegboro was a leading figure and a strong influence in Ondo State Elders Forum.

“We can not forget in a hurry the invaluable contributions of the late royal Prince to the unity, and development of APC, both in Akure South and the State in general”, he mourned..

The party boss expressed profound sympathy to his immediate family, the entire Akure Kingdom, APC in Akure, and all his associates, urging God to grant them the fortitude to handle the irreversible loss.

“Our prayer is that God will accept his soul and grant him an eternal rest. We also hope the APC gladiators, particularly in Akure, will promote better understanding and cohesion, as a mark of honour to the departed.”
