The Obamoluwa of Idanre Kingdom, High Chief Moses Akinmade, father of Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, has passed away. The nonagenarian, who was also a distinguished agriculturist and culture enthusiast, died on Monday evening.
In a statement issued on behalf of the Akinmade family from Idanre, Ondo State, Kayode Akinmade, who previously served as Special Adviser on Media to former House of Representatives Speaker Dimeji Bankole, shared the news of his father’s passing. Despite the family’s profound grief, they find comfort in the fact that High Chief Moses Akinmade lived a distinguished life.
