Abiodun mourns APC South-West women leader, Yetunde Adesanya

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, expressed shock and sadness at the death of Arabinrin Yetunde Shakirat Adesanya, the All Progressives Congress (APC) South‑West Zonal Women Leader. He described her passing as a significant loss for both the party and the nation.

Adesanya died on Thursday evening at her Lagos home after a prolonged illness.

In a condolence message, Governor Abiodun praised the late APC figure as a devoted party loyalist, grassroots mobiliser, and passionate advocate for women’s inclusion in politics and governance.

He noted that she had dedicated her life to the growth and stability of the APC, especially in the South‑West, where she played a pivotal role in strengthening the party’s women’s wing through effective mobilisation, mentorship, and self‑less service.

According to the governor, Adesanya’s dedication, humility, and unwavering commitment to progressive ideals earned her the respect and admiration of party members and political associates across the country.

“Her death is painful and devastating. Ogun State and the APC family have lost a courageous, dependable, and highly resourceful woman whose contributions to party development and women empowerment will never be forgotten,” the governor said.

Governor Abiodun extended his condolences to the deceased’s immediate family, the APC leadership, and party members throughout the South‑West, offering prayers that Almighty God grant her eternal rest and give her loved ones the strength to endure this irreparable loss.
