Wife of Late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Mrs H.I.D Awolowo who died on
September 19th, will be buried on November 25th in a white damask cloth
she bought and kept for this purpose 36 years ago. Her daughter,
Reverend (Mrs) Tola Oyediran, revealed this, saying
“Mama in her unique way had kept a white damask to be laid in her casket
whenever she died since the day she stopped her fabric sales business.
And if I am not mistaken, I think she stopped selling fabrics around
1979; meaning that since then, she had kept that damask for that
purpose. That is her wish and it will be like that.”she said
Oyediran also revealed that Mama will be buried in a gold casket which
will be brought in from the United States of America. She will be buried
beside her husband inside the Awolowo mausoleum in the family compound
in Okenne, Ogun state.
