The Ayandeji Family condole with the family of Adeojo on the passing away of Chief Yekeen Adeojo early morning of today.


In a letter signed by Engr. Banji Ayandeji for Ayandeji Family, he described Adeojo as a philanthropist who is one of the pillars for the masses, the letter goes thus;


" Today, we mourn the loss of an irreplaceable soul, Chief Yekeen Adeojo a revered chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a man whose life was defined by service, generosity, wisdom, and leadership. A true father figure, a philanthropist without borders, and a political icon whose legacy will live on for generations.


" He was not only a beacon of hope for the underprivileged but also a strong pillar in Nigeria’s political landscape. As the father of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, he played a pivotal role in shaping its values and direction, laying the groundwork for unity, progress, and development. His influence extended far beyond the borders of the state—he was a respected voice on the national stage, a bridge-builder, and a mentor to countless leaders and aspiring politicians across Nigeria.


" His philanthropy knew no tribe, religion, or class. He gave freely, loved deeply, and served selflessly. Schools, hospitals, scholarships, and social initiatives all bear witness to the legacy of a man who truly believed that humanity is our greatest cause.


" To me and many others, he was more than a public figure. He was a personal inspiration. A man whose life lessons shaped my values, whose counsel brought clarity, and whose unwavering faith in people reminded us all of what true leadership looks like: service over self.


" Though his physical presence has left us, his legacy will forever echo in the lives he touched, the political structures he strengthened, and the future he helped build.


" Rest in peace, Baba. You have done your part. Your name, your work, and your heart will never be forgotten.


With eternal respect, love, and gratitude", he concluded.

For decades, this blood test has been the go-to tool for doctors faced with patients presenting with fever, headache, or gastrointestinal symptoms. Yet, despite its popularity, the Widal test continues to raise serious concerns among health professionals because, quite frankly, it often gets it wrong. In its current use, especially the common practice of testing only a single acute-phase blood sample, which is simply not reliable and frequently delivers false positives, mistaking other infections or past exposures for active typhoid fever.
