Wife of Late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Mrs H.I.D Awolowo who died on
September nineteenth, will be buried on November 25th in a white damask
fabric she purchased and kept for this reason 36 years back.
Her little
girl, Reverend (Mrs) Tola Oyediran, revealed this to journalists.
“Mama
in her unique way had kept a white damask to be laid in her casket
whenever she died since the day she stopped her fabric sales business.
And if I am not mistaken, I think she stopped selling fabrics around
1979; meaning that since then, she had kept that damask for that
purpose. That is her wish and it will be like that.” she said.
Oyediran further said that Mama will be covered in a gold coffin which
will be acquired from the United States of America.
She will be buried
adjacent to her spouse inside the Awolowo catacomb in the family
compound in Okenne, Ogun state.
