President Bola Tinubu was on Sunday received at the Gateway International Airport, Iperu, by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, alongside other South-West governors.
Tinubu arrived in Ogun to attend the eighth-day prayer held in honour of the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
The President’s arrival was confirmed by the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
President Bola Tinubu has arrived at the Gateway International Airport, Iperu, Ogun State, ahead of his visit to Ijebu-Ode to attend the eighth-day prayer ceremony for the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona,” Olusegun wrote.
“He is accompanied by First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, and is received by a delegation of dignitaries led by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, and other governors in the South-West,” he added.
