Chief Mrs Titilayo Ajanaku, former Special Adviser
on Women Affairs to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, is dead.
Ajanaku,
a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), died in the early
hours of Thursday at the age of 73.
A
former Chairman of the old Abeokuta Local Government Area in Ogun State, Chief
Titilayo Ajanaku “Precious Eze’s Blog” was told had suffered cancer for a very
long time and only succumbed to death this morning.
A
trained nurse, administrator and women leader, Ajanaku was born on January 25,
1946 at Ago-Odo Quarters in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
She
attended Nawair-Ud-Deen Secondary School, Abeokuta and trained in Nursing at
Stobhill General Hospital, Nether-Edge City General Hospital, Sheffield, United
Kingdom between 1964 and 1965.
Ajanaku
was member of the National Association of Nurses and Midwives of Nigeria.
She
came into national limelight when she emerged against all odds as chairman of
old Abeokuta Local Government under the zero-party arrangement. She defeated
about 10 men lined up as candidates in that election.
Ajanaku
was in the vanguard of G-34 which metamorphosed into the PDP in 1998.
She
was also one of the top politicians arrested and arraigned in 1995 over phantom
coup before the Patrick Aziza-led military panel.
In
2015, Ajanaku dumped the PDP and joined the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM)
ahead of that year’s election.
Until
her death, the late Ajanaku was the Otun Iyalode of Egbaland.
