A prominent Ibadan businessman, politician, and former governorship candidate, Chief Yekinni Adeojo, has passed away. He died in the early hours of Friday.
While details surrounding his death remain unclear at this time, he is expected to be buried later today in accordance with Islamic rites.
Adeojo contested the 1999 Oyo State governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but lost to the late Alhaji Lamidi Adesina of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
One of his sons, Sherif Adeojo, currently serves as the chairman of Ido Local Government.
May his soul rest in peace.
