LATEST UPDATE:
Soun wants FG to immortalise AdekunleThe people of Ogbomoso in Oyo State have urged the Federal Government to immortalise Brigadier General Benjamin Adesanya Adekunle (retd), one of their illustrious sons.
Until his death last Saturday morning, Adekunle was the Ashipa of Ogbomosoland.
The Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Oladunni Oyewunmi Ajagungbade III, who made the call, described Adekunle’s death as very shocking and devastating.
The monarch appealed to the Federal Government to immortalise Benjamin Adekunle because he made significant contributions to the corporate existence of Nigeria. He noted that the way the deceased risked his life for the unity of Nigeria during the Nigerian Civil War, which ended in 1970, would be difficult to forget.
Oba Oyewumi also advised the Federal Government to honour other Nigerians that had made tremendous contributions to the growth and development of the nation.
Former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, who hails from Ogbomoso, also said Adekunle came, saw and conquered, adding that Nigerians would always remember him for his uncommon patriotism to the unity of the country.
