The Late Ojo Madueke

The Late Ojo Madueke

A member of the House of Representatives, Oladipupo Adebutu, (Ikene/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency) has described the death of former Minister for Transport, Chief Ojo Madueke as a great loss to the nation.

In his condolence message on the passing on of the great politician and former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adebutu said the late Chief Madueke had served the nation in various capacities including as Minister for Foreign Affairs as well as Culture and Tourism, where he acquired himself greatly as a patriot.

He described the former Deputy Director of the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign in 2011 as a loyal party man whose contribution to the growth of democracy in Nigeria is immeasurable.

“Nigerians, and especially members of the Peoples Democratic Party will greatly miss the invaluable contribution of Chief Madueke who was one of the few remaining elder statesmen the party is looking up to as it navigates towards returning to power in 2019”.

Adebutu, however, expressed his condolence to members of his immediate family, Nigeria as a whole and his PDP political family at the sudden demise of the late politician, praying that God should grant him eternal rest, and also grant his family the needed courage to bear this unavoidable loss.

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime.
