How Governor Abiodun's ex-aide, Odemuyiwa, died
According to The Punch, the death of Prof. Odemuyiwa was confirmed by Dickson Awolaja, the lawmaker representing Remo North in Ogun state house of assembly.
The lawmaker, an aboriginal of Isara Remo, the same as the deceased, said:
“I just confirmed this with a friend not long ago. Prof was said to be going to Ibadan when he had the accident. This is sad.”
Who is Professor Joseph Odemuyiwa?
The deceased, 66, served in the state government-owned higher institutions, including Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ago Iwoye and Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijagun, for years.
Odemuyiwa also served in the administration of Abiodun during his first term in office from 2019 to 2023.
However, he was not re-appointed after the governor was re-elected in the 2023 general election and had to re-constitute his cabinet.
Abiodun's re-election victory in the 2023 election was strongly challenged by Ladi Adebutu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
