Naija News reports that this was communicated on Friday in a brief statement on X by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
He wrote: “The President will join Governor Dapo Abiodun and other dignitaries at the event, which will be held at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.
“Oba Adetona, who passed away on July 13 at the age of 91, was laid to rest the following day in Ijebu-Ode.”
Meanwhile, President Tinubu visited Kano on Friday to commiserate with the family of late elder statesman and renowned businessman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata.
This was confirmed in a statement by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.
He recalled that President Tinubu was out of the country at the time of Dantata’s passing but directed some of his ministers, led by Defence Minister, to attend the burial in Saudi Arabia as a mark of honour for the late nonagenarian.
It would be recalled that the billionaire and philanthropist passed away at the age of 94 on Saturday, June 28.
