Burial Arrangement for Late Abraham Adesanya Still Intact - Senator Okurounmu

Tuesday, 13 May 2008

Contrary to Newspaper reports that the burial arrangement for late Afenifere leader, Pa Abraham Adesanya has been shifted, the burial will still commence on Monday May 19 and end on Friday May 23, 2008 as earlier scheduled.

Briefing newsmen in Ijebu-Ode after the meeting of the burial committee for the late politician chaired by Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the Chairman of the publicity committee, Senator Femi Okurounmu said the burial arrangement was intact as scheduled.

Said Okurounmu “ I am happy to report to you that all arrangements are on course, things are progressing, there is final and continued unanimity between all the stakeholders about the final arrangement and everything as already published is going to take place”.

Senator Okurounmu said the only modification in the programme was an addition.

According to him “ In the programme earlier announced, we said that the body of Papa would lie in State on Friday May 23 at the St. Johns Anglican Church, Oke-Agbo, Ijebu-Igbo but the addition to the programme is that the body would not just lie in state, there would be a brief service, lasting for an hour at that church before the body moves for an open air service at Abusi Edumare Academy Ijebu-Igbo.

He said every other programme remained as already published, maintaining that the joint valedictory parliamentary sittings by all selected legislatives from all the eight states that comprises the former western region would still hold.

“This would be a joint sitting of selected legislators from all the states that comprises the former western region, invited legislatives from National Assembly, Senate and House of Representatives as well as some distinguished dignatories to give honour to whom honour is due.”
