The Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has described as sad the death of popular entertainer and General Manager of Unique FM, Ilesa, Osun State, Opeyemi Fajemileyin.
In a statement by the Director of Bureau of Communications and Strategy, Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon, Aregbesola described the death of Fajemilehin as one that has once again dealt a devastating blow to the media industry, particularly the broadcast section, robbing the country of another energetic man and a versatile journalist.
The governor said the demise of the experienced Yoruba broadcaster will no doubt leave a huge vacuum in the media industry.
The statement said in part: “Once again, we have lost a very precious gift in the GM of Ara (Unique) FM. To say that his death has thrown us into a state of mourning is just a mild way of expressing our sorrow and sadness.
“Fajemilehin, in the past 25 years, practised journalism actively and distinguished himself among his peers as a thoroughbred professional. This made him and his programmes such as ‘Fajemilehin on FM’, ‘Pirilolongo Nji’ and Fajemilehin on the Rock,’ on Paramount FM 94.5, Abeokuta.”
