Hon. Olabinjo arrived at the venue after about two hours into the programme. The anchor person as well as the Muslim clerics quickly recognized his presence while he was summoned for close pleasantries, a gesture extended to the smart Alasalatus at the venue.
He was thus accompanied by the former Leader of the legislative arm, Hon. Niyi Fadare, former Deputy Leader, Hon. Rasheed Quadri (Black & Shine) and Hon. Segun Iwaloye.
Others are Hon. Mutiu Bakare, one of the pioneer councillors of the local government, the pioneer Supervisory Councillor for Health and a close ally of Hon. Nureni, and Hon. Omolaja Shodiya. They all rallied round Nureni who expressed delight at their presence at the event held in honour of his demised 97 years old father.
People & Politics recall that Hon. Nureni and Hon. Bakare served together in the local government between 1996-1998.
