Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has paid glowing tribute to the late South-West Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief (Mrs.) Yetunde Adesanya, describing her as a loyal political associate, respected grassroots mobiliser, and distinguished leader whose life was devoted to the service of humanity and the growth of progressive politics.
The governor spoke on Thursday at a Day of Songs and Tributes organised in honour of the late APC South-West Women Leader at the Cinema Hall of the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta.
Governor Abiodun said Chief Adesanya was deeply passionate about the advancement of women and the strengthening of the APC, noting that she combined unwavering loyalty with uncommon humility, selflessness, and dedication to public service.
He added that her death represents a painful loss not only to her family but also to Ogun State, the APC, the South-West region, and the numerous communities she impacted through decades of selfless service and purposeful leadership.
Governor Abiodun noted that the late women leader’s exceptional ability to connect with people from different backgrounds and mobilise support at the grassroots level distinguished her as one of the party’s most effective leaders.
“Through her strategic engagement, persuasive advocacy, and genuine concern for the welfare of others, she contributed significantly to the growth and strengthening of the APC in Ogun State and across the South-West,” he stated.
He stressed that her legacy of service, loyalty, and commitment would continue to inspire party members, women leaders, and younger generations seeking to make meaningful contributions to society.
Speaking on behalf of the National Chairman of the APC, Hon. Tolu Bankole described the late Chief Adesanya as “an institution and a movement,” who served the party with integrity, dedication, and unwavering commitment.
He noted that she remained a strong advocate for women and the girl child while contributing immensely to the growth and stability of the APC.
