By Newsflash

Chief Lamidi Ariyibi Adedibu, controversial Ibadan politician and self-styled garrison commander of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), passed on this morning at the University College Hospital in Ibadan. Before his eventual passage, the octogenerian was rumoured to be seriuosly ill, even though he often denied it.

PMNews gathered that the late Adedibu had battled the ailment that finally killed him for sometime now. Before his death, the late Adedibu was said to have vowed to ensure Senator Kamoru Adedibu, his son, becomes the next governor of Oyo State. As at press time, details of his burial arrangement remained sketchy.

I just checked and appreciated the meaning of "snoop" after your post (I admit, English is a 3rd language to me, I'm learning it everyday). I meant to say villagers who can verify the validity of Adedibu's death may do so and confirm to us. I hope I have it right this time...

	=UncleTisha;4295054028>So he was useful at some point? Uncle T, He apparently was. A large number of people who daily thronged his house for self sustenance will attest to that. No matter what we may say about his terrible side, he was a selfless man. May his soul (at least) rest in peace that he denied Ibadan and Nigeria politics. If only for him to realize what he missed here on earth, the beauty and serenity of peaceful existence.
