Senator Adeola expressed shock and great sadness at the demise of the head (Oloriebi) of Onibata family in Ago Isaga, Ilaro who had stood by him through thick and thin as an illustrious son of the family over the years adding that his loss is an irreplaceable as a repository of the history of the Isaga people domiciled in Pahayi- Yewa, Ilaro, Yewa South LGA of Ogun State.
“Baba Ogundimu, famously called “Baba Yayi” over the years was a great uncle to me. He was full of encouragement for me as a son of the Onibata Family and was ready at all times to narrate the genealogy of the family for many generations of Isaga people. I will surely miss his usual wise counsel and encouragement to continue in the noble trajectory of good governance for my people,” Senator Adeola stated.
