President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to attend the eighth-day Fidau for late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona on Sunday.

This was contained in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Friday.

According to the statement, Tinubu will depart Abuja on Sunday to attend the ceremony.

“The President will join Governor Dapo Abiodun and other dignitaries at the event, which will be held at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode,” the statement read in part.

Oba Adetona joined his forbears on July 13, 2025, at the age of 91.

The monarch’s death came as the country was still reeling from the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday.

His remains were laid to rest on Monday at his private residence in the Government Reserved Area, Igbeba, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

Dignitaries, traditional rulers, political leaders, and residents paid their final respects in Ijebu-Ode to the ruler who reigned for 65 years.

The Janazah (Islamic burial prayer) was led by the Chief Imam of Ijebuland, Miftaudeen Gbadegesin Ayanbadejo.

Markets across the town were also shut as directed by the Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area Chairman, Dare Alebiosu, in honour of the departed king.
