May he RIP.
Amid encomiums, the remains of the Publisher and Vice Chairman of the
African Newspapers of Nigeria (ANN) Plc, publishers of the Tribune
titles, Chief Oluwole Awolowo, were on Friday, interred in Ikenne-Remo,
Ogun State, after a funeral service at Our Saviour’s Anglican Church.
The ceremony, reminiscent of the burial of the sage, Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, was graced by dignitaries from all walks of life, including a
delegation from the Presidency, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
state governors, former governors, members of the National Assembly and
many others.
In a sermon entitled ‘Don’t Wait; You May Not Get Another Chance’,
the Bishop of Remo Anglican Diocese, Right Reverend (Dr.) Michael
Olusina Fape, said that unlike many who profess to be Christians today,
the late Chief Oluwole Awolowo lived a fruitful life and never
sacrificed integrity on the altar of self-interest.
Culled from Tribune
