Kehinde Subair, a 60-year-old former majority leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly, passed away.
Subair, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was reported to have passed away in the UK not long after breaking his Ramadan fast.
APC Publicity Secretary Wale Sadare confirmed Subair’s death to Punch in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, saying, “Yes, he is dead, confirmed.” But since I’m in a studio right now, I can’t discuss too much.
The two-term member of the state House of Assembly from 2011 to 2019 passed away just days before turning 60, according to another APC chieftain in the state who asked not to be named.
Seven days before his 60th birthday, Subair passed away in the United Kingdom, according to the source. The party will undoubtedly miss him.
Prior to his untimely death, Subair held a variety of positions within the party.
In other events, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde declared that the people of Oyo State will be key in choosing his successor in the 2027 elections.
According to reports, Makinde made this pronouncement in a statement that was made public on Saturday, March 8, 2025, and that his Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, provided to reporters.

The governor underlined that if Oyo State citizens genuinely want continuity, they would choose his successor and thereby control the state’s future.
Additionally, he stated that he would make public the name of the candidate he plans to support for governor at some point in 2026.
The goal of this endorsement, according to Makinde, is to guarantee that the state keeps up its course toward reform and sustainable growth.
