One of the last wishes of the late Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, was to see All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu become President of Nigeria.
According to Akeem Adeyemi, who is son of the late Alaafin, Tinubu becoming President was of paramount interest to his father. He was speaking during the celebration of the late Alaafin’s 84th posthumous birthday in Oyo during the weekend.
“We want to thank our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima. The project is paramount to us, it is paramount to Oba Lamidi Adeyemi. His last wish was to see Asiwaju become the President.
“Five hundred grassroots mobilisers for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima were empowered with cash today to move and spread the gospel of the harbinger of success, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.
“I want to admonish the youths to look and be focused to know who truly loves them, who they can support, and who has the interest of their future at heart.”
“Today would have been his 84th birthday, as people do celebrate posthumous birthdays, we lined up a series of activities and projects to commission and to honour Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III. We started with free medical services such as free treatment, free drugs and distribution of food items throughout the four local governments.”
