The remembrance service for his late mother will be held on the same day and at the same venue as his father’s funeral service.

Mrs. Florence Adebola Oliyide passed away in 1978, and this will be a moment to remember both parents in one unified ceremony.

Following the church service, a private internment will take place at the family residence, where Pa Oliyide will be laid to rest.

Later that day, the entertainment and reception for guests will be held at MHQ Events Centre, opposite Rhema Church, Temidire, Sango Ota, Ogun State.
