| Tinubu and his daughter, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo |
Following the vacuum created by the death of the President of
Lagos market men and women, late Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, her son, former Lagos
State governor Alhaji Bola Tinubu was said to have pronounced his daughter, Folashade
Tinubu-Ojo the new President General of market men and women in Lagos.
Tinubu made this pronouncement at 7th day prayer held by
leaders of Market Association for the late Abibatu Mogaji at her Sunday Adigun
residence in Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday.
Tinubu, who interrupted the prayer sessions to make the
decree, first told the market leaders that the house where Mogaji lived and
died has been willed to the association.
Before the applause that followed could die down, he had told
the audience, “I also want to announce to you that the new Iyaloja of Lagos is
Folashade Tinubu-ojo. We are in a new era. Besides, Mama was not older than her
age when she became Iyaloja"
