Ondo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the death of Professor Bayonle Ademodi as a great loss to Ondo State chapter of the part in general, and Ondo East Local Government Area in particular.
The late professor of Chemical Engineering, according to a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Alex Kalejaye, was a pragmatic leader, a bridge-builder, and a committed party man.
The statement further said the deceased was ever ready to sacrifice so much for the cohesion, and development of the party.
Chairman of APC in Ondo State, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, described the death of Ademodi as grievous and painful, adding that the vacuum so created would be difficult to fill.
Adetimehin said the deceased was a jovial and consistent politician, who served the party with his talent and resources.
The departed academic and administrator was also deeply involved in the efforts to unite the Yoruba race through Afenifere, the social-cultural body, where he was a leader.
“He never looked back, once he believed in a course”, the party chieftain added.
The party prayed God to grant the immediate family, Ondo Kingdom, Anglican Communion, the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and professional colleagues the fortitude to bear the loss.
