THERE was palpable anger among the wailing Ido-Ekiti crowd as they trooped out in their thousands to pay their last respects to the slain member of the community and All Progressives Congress (APC) chief, Mr. Bunmi Ojo, who was buried on Friday. The women, mostly elderly, left their heads without cover and some of them wore their clothes inside out, and they sang their tirades and curses throughout the duration of the church service. Governor Ayodele Fayose was represented at the funeral by his chief of staff, Chief Dipo Aniwulowo. Also at the funeral were the Ekiti State governor-elect, Dr Kayode Fayemi; deputy governor-elect, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi; former Governor Segun Oni and his wife, Kemi and his deputy, Dr Sikiru Tae-Lawal. Others include Senators Duro Faseyi, Bode Ola, Tony Adeniyi and Ayo Arise a former Minister of State for Works, Dayo Adeyeye; and chairman of the Ekiti State chapter of APC, Chief Olajide Awe among others.
