“The news of the shocking demise of Yetunde Dada which occurred yesterday in a ghastly automobile accident along Lokoja-Abuja Highway filtered-in while on a PDP campaign train to Akure North with great disbelief.
“A distinguished daughter of Ile-Oluji and worthy citizen of Ondo State. A member of the State Working Committee of our great Party, the PDP, and a chieftain of the Party in Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government, where she once served distinctively as Council Chairperson.
“Indeed a star has fallen, a gem has dropped and an amazon has vacated the stage. For all she represented and stood for, especially to her husband and children, to her family, friends, associates and the PDP, this is tragic, sad and shocking.

“I commiserate with her family, particularly her husband, children, the PDP family in Ondo State and the Jegun of Ile-Oluji, on this sad development. May the almighty grant her deserved rest.”
