Father Taught Us To Be Self-Sufficient – Ooni's Daughter
Adenike Sijuwade, one of the daughters of late Ooni of Ife, Oba Sijuwade Okunade Olubuse II, has said that their father impacted greatly on them before he died.
Adenike said this during the interdenominational service held for the late Ooni on Friday.
Adenike explained that the late Ooni was one of the best fathers anyone could have on earth, adding that the late monarch was "caring and loving".
She said: "He is a kind and lovely father. He taught us well, especially how to be self-sufficient."
Also, one of the Oloris, Morisola, was seen crying during the prayer. Morisola cried during a sermon on death and consequence of existence on earth.
In an interview, the Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, said the "late Ooni promoted the culture and tradition of Yoruba in a decent way. He made the Yoruba culture to be celebrated worldwide."
Meanwhile, the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has faulted the absence of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and other All Progressives Congress (APC) governors in the South-West for not attending the burial service held for the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.
The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, said the governors ought to have honoured the departed monarch by being physically present at the burial service but they chose not to.
He said: "It will be most unfortunate if they did not attend the Ooni's burial because of politics. I believe they have other reasons.
"Not attending the burial is condemnable because the throne of the Ooni is the foremost in Yorubaland.
"If they carried politics into that, then their action is sacrilegious and a great disrespect to Oduduwa, who is the progenitor of the Yoruba race."
The event was attended by the Vice President Osinbajo, Rear Admiral Akin Aduwo (rtd), Gen. Alani Akinriande (rtd), Senator Babajide Omoworare, Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and many other dignitaries and government representatives.
