President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to attend the forthcoming
burial of late Olubadan, Oba Odulana Odugade, who died penultimate Tuesday.
Oyo State Governor, Mr. Abiola Ajimobi made the disclosure, yesterday, while briefing newsmen after a meeting with President Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja...
Ajimobi said he was in the villa to formally brief the president on the death of the traditional ruler.
He said: “My mission here basically is to see Mr. President and intimate him of the recent transition of the Olubadan, who passed away a couple of days ago.
“We had to wait for the traditional message from the palace before we could convey this to the President. I am glad that I have been able to convey it. You may even ask why conveying such to the President, at least he was just an Olubadan?
He noted that “If you know, the Olubadan is not an ordinary King. Apart from the fact that he worked for the Federal Government, he was once a Minister of Labour under Alhaji Tafawa Balewa government when he was Prime Minister, he worked as a parliamentarian and a minister.
