Ogun APC Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, passes away

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State is in mourning following the untimely death of its Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye.

The seasoned media professional and political figure passed away on April 4, 2025, while undergoing medical treatment in the United Kingdom for an undisclosed illness.

His family confirmed the tragic news in a statement released on Friday, expressing profound sorrow over the loss of a beloved husband, father, and community leader. Oladunjoye was also serving as a media consultant to Governor Dapo Abiodun at the time of his death.

As a respected member of the APC and a trusted figure in Ogun State’s political landscape, Oladunjoye’s passing has left a void not only within the party but also in the hearts of those who knew him.

Known for his sharp communication skills and deep understanding of political dynamics in Ogun State, Oladunjoye was a respected voice within the APC and a strong advocate for good governance.

“It is with deep sorrow and total submission to the divine will of Almighty Allah that we announce the passing of our beloved father, husband, brother, and esteemed leader, Alhaji Abdulraheem Olatunde Ayinde Oladunjoye, who returned to his Lord on Friday, 4th April 2025.

“A man of exceptional honour, integrity, and boundless kindness, Alhaji Oladunjoye was a pillar of strength, wisdom, and unwavering faith. His life was a testament to selfless service, as he touched countless lives through his generosity, humility, and dedication to uplifting others. Beyond being a devoted family man, he was a father figure to many—loved, respected, and admired by all who had the privilege of knowing him,” the statement read.

The family added that details of his Janazah (funeral) would be announced later.

Governor Abiodun, in a heartfelt tribute issued Friday night, described Oladunjoye’s passing as a significant loss to the state and the APC.

He said: “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.”
