President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to leave Abuja on Sunday for Ijebu-Ode, Ogun, where he will attend the eighth-day prayer for Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
The Awujale of Ijebu, a revered traditional ruler, passed away on July 13 at the age of 91 and was buried the following day.
His burial, conducted in accordance with Islamic rites, took place quietly in Ijebu-Ode, marking the end of a remarkable era of leadership.
The Oba, who ruled for an unprecedented 65 years, was one of Nigeria’s longest-serving traditional rulers and a major voice in national affairs.
9news Nigeria reports that President Tinubu will be joined by Gov. Dapo Abiodun and other dignitaries at the solemn event.
The prayer ceremony is scheduled to hold at the Dipo Dina International Stadium, one of the largest venues in Ijebu-Ode.
The event is expected to draw traditional rulers, political leaders, business executives and religious figures from across Nigeria and beyond.
Earlier on Friday, the President paid a condolence visit to Kano, where he sympathised with the family of late elder statesman, Alh. Aminu Dantata.
Tinubu has intensified condolence visits in recent weeks following the loss of several high-profile Nigerians, including former President Muhammadu Buhari.
