OBASANJO LOSES SISTER

Former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s younger sister, Madam Aduni Oluwasola Eweje-Obasanjo is dead. She died at the age of 76.

Obasanjo personally broke the news when he hosted women leaders from the Southwest at his residence in Abeokuta on Sunday.

He said the scheduled visit would not have been, "if only I realize that my sister would be called.”

The women leaders, drawn from community, religious and market sections were led by the Iyalode of Yorubaland, Mrs. Alaba Lawson. The delegation later prayed for the repose of the dead.

Also, church members of the Christ chapel of the Glorious King, where Obasanjo is a member visited to commiserate with him over the death.

The late Madam Eweje-Obasanjo, commonly referred to as Mama Eweje died last Tuesday at an Ota private hospital after a brief illness.
