Tinubu’s ‘Distant’ In-law, Kolapo Akande Is Dead
Meanwhile, an in-law to the wife of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Dr Kolapo Akande, has been reported dead.
Reports obtained by OsunDaily News on Thursday revealed that Kolapo, who was married to Oluremi Tinubu’s sister, Dr Lola Akande, died on Wednesday night at the age of 72.
A relative who does not want his name in print told reporters that Kolapo has been sick from an undisclosed ailment for some time.
The families of the deceased, however, are yet to announce the sad development publicly. OsunDaily News understands that Akande’s demise is coming a few days after APC confirmed the death of two party chieftains.
