President Tinubu Expected at Ogun Eighth-Day Memorial Prayer

In order to attend the eighth-day prayer service for the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will leave Abuja on Sunday.
This was reportedly conveyed by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a succinct statement on X on Friday.
The celebration will take place at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode, and the President will attend alongside Governor Dapo Abiodun and other dignitaries, he wrote.

“Oba Adetona, who died on July 13 at the age of 91, was buried in Ijebu-Ode the next day.”

To offer his condolences to the family of the late elder statesman and well-known businessman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, President Tinubu traveled to Kano on Friday.

In a statement, presidential spokeswoman Bayo Onanuga affirmed this.

He recounted that President Tinubu ordered some of his ministers, including the Defense Minister, to attend the late nonagenarian’s funeral in Saudi Arabia as a sign of respect for him even though he was abroad when Dantata passed away.

As you may remember, the philanthropist and millionaire died on Saturday, June 28 at the age of 94.

In addition to personally expressing his condolences to Dantata’s family, Tinubu is anticipated to visit Kano State and convey his sympathies to the state’s citizens.
