Dapo Abiodun’s Aide, Akinmade, Loses Father

The death of High Chief Moses Ade Akinmade, the Obamoluwa of Idanre Kingdom, has been announced.

The late Obamoluwa is the father of the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to the Ogun State governor, Hon. Kayode Akinmade.

Announcing the passing of the nonagenarian in a statement issued on behalf of the Akinmade family of Idanre, Ondo State, on Tuesday, Hon. Akinmade, who served as Special Adviser on Media to the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole, stated that the sad event took place on Monday evening.

The statement said that even though the family has been hard hit by the demise of the agriculturist and culture enthusiast, it finds solace in the fact that the deceased lived a highly distinguished life.

The veteran journalist and two-time Commissioner for Information in Ondo State described the deceased as a great community leader, cocoa merchant, and socialite.

The nonagenarian is survived by his wives and children.

Burial arrangements will soon be announced by the family.
