Ajimobi Mourns Adelere , Says Foremost Awoist , Committed Progressive Is Gone .
Deputy National Chairman (South) of All Progressive Congress (APC) and former Governor of Oyo-State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has expressed deep sadness and regrets over the passage of Pa Salau Adelere , a foremost Awoist from Oke Ogun zone of Oyo-State and one of the Nigeria’s progressive -minded politicians .
According to Ajimobi in a statement issued by Mr Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy to the immediate past governor of Oyo State, Pa Adelere’s death still came with regrets though he lived to a ripe old age of 90 years. Pa Adelere died on Friday, June 5, 2020 .
He described the Iseyin-born politician as one of the greatest advocates of progressive politics whose dreams have always been to ensure that Nigeria achieved her full potentials. “He was committed to the ideals of progressive politics as espoused by the late sage, Chief Awolowo” all through his life. He was one of our greatest pillars of support in Oke-Ogun and by extension, Oyo State.
He said the death of Pa Adelere has left a vacuum in the progressives fold while the people of Iseyin, Oke Ogun and Oyo State would also miss his sage’s advice and support in years to come.
