In this edition, we remember six more of our departed heroes whose legacies continue to inspire strength and unity within our ranks.

Chief Awoyemi was a dependable leader whose wisdom often settled disputes and fostered unity within the party in Okuku and across Odo-Otin. His voice carried weight, not just because of his royal lineage but because of his integrity and courage. His life was a beacon of service and his memory remains a source of inspiration to all who continue the struggle he so dearly cherished.

LATE ELDER OWOLABI EZEKIEL DUROJAYE (ALONSO): A FOUNDING FATHER OF PDP IN ODO-OTIN

January 2011 marked the passing of Elder Owolabi Ezekiel Durojaye, popularly known as Alonso, a leader from Ward 01, Okuku. He was one of the founding fathers of the PDP in Odo-Otin, serving as a local executive and playing a key role in the establishment and growth of the party in its early days.

Alonso worked closely with former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, supporting his political ambition and contributing greatly to the party’s strength. He was a great man whose loyalty to the PDP was unwavering. His legacy as a pioneer and builder of the party continues to serve as a guide for those who came after him.

From Oba Otepola’s compound in Inisa, Ward 11, came Alhaji (Prince) Suleiman Olabisi Olaniyan, a leader who dedicated his life to the progress of his people and the PDP. He served as Vice Chairman of Odo-Otin Local Government between 1989 and 1992 under the Social Democratic Party, working alongside Hon. Ranti Alabi as Chairman. His service left indelible marks in Odo-Otin and Inisa, making him one of the most trusted leaders of his time. He passed on March 26, 2024.

Alhaji Olaniyan was a reliable and dependable party man, whose love for the PDP was evident in his sacrifices and commitment. He impacted countless lives through his leadership and generosity and his legacy continues to inspire younger generations. His life was one of devotion to the PDP and his memory is treasured by all who knew him.

He was a deep thinker, an intelligent leader and a strategist who often brought forward creative ideas and solutions for the party. He served as PDP State Treasurer and later as Director of Administration, leaving behind a record of diligence and service.

Alhaji Omotoso twice aspired to chairmanship positions in 2003 and 2010, reflecting his passion for leadership and service. He was one of the most reliable figures within the PDP and his influence extended beyond his ward to the entire state. His memory lives on as a symbol of loyalty, wisdom and unwavering commitment to the growth of the PDP.

Oga Laga's life is a testament to service through humility and his memory remains a blessing to the PDP family.

Iya Aafin Jola was a cheerful giver and a fearless woman who never hesitated to speak the truth. Her impact in Ward 12 and in Inisa as a whole cannot be forgotten. She lived for her community and her party and her passing left a void that still lingers today. Her memory continues to serve as a source of courage and inspiration for women and men alike within the PDP.

THEIR COLLECTIVE LEGACY

Chief (Prince) Adeleke Ifadare Awoyemi, Elder Owolabi Ezekiel Durojaye, Alhaji (Prince) Suleiman Olabisi Olaniyan, Alhaji Yisa Omotoso, Chief Yemi Odegbenle and Mrs. Jola Lucia Fatoki were leaders who carried the hopes of their people and gave their time, resources and wisdom to the PDP.

Hon. Adeola was a true party man whose loyalty never wavered. He often sacrificed his personal resources to mobilise for the PDP and ensure its success. His dedication and contributions remain unforgettable, making him a leader worthy of emulation and an example of selfless service to the people.

HON. TAJUDEEN ALAKA: VIBRANT, ENERGETIC AND CHARISMATIC

The sudden passing of Hon. Tajudeen Alaka on April 22, 2024, was a painful blow to Odo-Otin PDP. He served as a member of the LGEA Board in Odo-Otin, where he worked tirelessly to advance the cause of the party. Known for his passion and determination, he set himself apart as a leader who poured his energy into building a stronger PDP.

Hon. Alaka was vibrant, brilliant and charismatic. His tireless commitment and rigorous work for the party inspired others, particularly in Ward 07, Ijabe/Ila-Odo. Though gone too soon, his legacy of service, passion and determination will never be forgotten by the PDP family.

She served as Woman Leader in Ward 12, where her hard work, activeness and dedication left an indelible mark. Her courage and passion made her a respected figure not only in Odo-Otin but also across Osun politics.

Iya Yoyo was bold and fearless, never afraid to speak the truth no matter whose interest it challenged. She was also a philanthropist and grassroots mobilizer whose influence touched many lives. Her sudden passing left a vacuum in Inisa politics that is yet to be filled, but her memory continues to inspire strength and courage in our party.

Their Collective Legacy

These six leaders, Chief Akogun Bisi Jinadu, Hon. Rauf Adeola, Hon. Tajudeen Alaka, Alhaja Toyeebat Oreoluwa, Prince Hon. Akinola Oyinlola and Hon. Jimoh Arisekola, were not just political figures. They were leaders of truth, loyalty and service who gave everything for the success of the PDP in Odo-Otin and Osun State.

Their sacrifices remind us that politics is not only about positions but about service, unity and legacy. As we, the Odo-Otin PDP Media Team, celebrate them today, we also recommit ourselves to carrying forward the torch they lit. Their voices may be silent, but their impact continues to speak. Their memories remain a source of strength as we build a stronger PDP and a better future for Odo-Otin.
