THE
South-West states have been urged to give the late HID Awolowo a state
burial. The Oodua Liberation Movement (OLM) said the states should not
wait for the Federal Government before taking this decision.
The group, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mr
Gbenga Awosode, also described the death of the matriarch of the Awolowo
dynasty as a victorious omen for the Awolowo family and the entire
Yoruba nation.
In a statement issued by the Pan-Yoruba group on Tuesday said that HID Awolowo lived almost up to 100 years surviving all the political adversaries of herself and her husband.
“To be almost 100 years is no joke. HID kept faith with her husband, who died in 1987 at the ripe age of 78. That HID could survive this long is a sign of the fact that her husband stood and fought for the greatest good of the highest number with old age and a prosperous life as a reward.”
