Yayi, Adebutu supporters take campaign to Daniel’s mother-in-law’s burial

During the funeral service of Chief Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, mother-in-law of former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel, supporters of Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) and Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate Ladi Adebutu engaged in political chanting. The event took place at Ibara Baptist Church in Abeokuta, where Opawole had recently passed away at age 93. As Adebutu's supporters chanted in support of his gubernatorial bid, opponents responded with their own chants, disrupting the service. Former Governor Daniel intervened, urging attendees to maintain decorum and emphasizing that political activity should occur outside of such solemn occasions. The disruption highlighted ongoing political tensions ahead of upcoming elections.
