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.
