Soun of Ogbomoso will get state burial-Makinde

Oyo State governor Engineer Seyi Makinde says the late Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Oyewunmi Ajagungbade will get a state burial. 

He stated this during a condolence visit to the family of the late Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Ajagungbade 

Governor Makinde while addressing the family, High Chiefs and members of Ogbomoso community at the Palace of the Soun, said that the visit was to officially condole with the family and entire sons and daughters of Ogbomosoland over the demise of the foremost monarch and that of his daughter, Professor Taibat Danmale. 

He said the late Oba Oyewunmi was a forthright and very blunt person, who used to speak truth to power always who left a good legacy and did wonderfully well for the development of Ogbomoso and the Oyo state in general.

Earlier, the eldest son of the late monarch, Dr. Aderemi Oyewumi, said that governor Makinde is one of the favourite governors of the late monarch, adding that the visit was highly appreciated.

He, therefore, pleaded with the governor to expedite action in installing another Soun of Ogbomoso land very soon.
