The State of Osun Governor, OgbeniRauf Aregbesola, conspicuously absent at the interdenominational service held for the late Ooni of Ife, Oba OkunadeSijuwade.
Governor Aregbesola, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Moshood Adeoti, said the governor was unavoidably absent because he was invited to Lagos for a very urgent meeting.
