Adeleke and Oyebamiji Attend Prayer for Late APC Leader
On Saturday, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Bola Oyebamiji attended a fidau prayer for the late Sidikat Basiru, mother of APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru. The prayer took place at Fakunle Comprehensive High School in Osogbo and drew a significant number of prominent political figures from various parties.
The event was particularly notable as it occurred in the context of the upcoming governorship election scheduled for August 15. Photographs and videos from the event circulated on social media, showcasing the cordial interaction between Adeleke and Oyebamiji, despite their previously frosty relationship as they emerged as governorship candidates from opposing parties.
Other dignitaries present included Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, Ekiti State Governor Abiodun Oyebanji, former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, and several other political leaders. Sheikh Abdulateef Abajaoro delivered a sermon emphasizing the inevitability of death and the importance of living righteously.
Kola Olabisi, the Osun APC Director of Media, announced the death of Sidikat Basiru, describing the loss as painful for the family.
