December 24, (THEWILL) – It has been one year since Demola Seriki, the former Minister of State for Defence passed on and his family members decided to hold various activities, rather than one coordinated activity, in remembrance of him. While Lagos society woman, Wosilat Okoya Seriki, his first wife gathered her immediate family members, her children such as Abisola Dejonwo, Faridah Demola-Seriki and Alimah Araoye, fellow society matriarchs and allies of the late politician for a special one-year remembrance prayer, his younger wife, Solape who was not in attendance also held her own special prayers in his remembrance. Wosilat’s event was an all-white and blue affair. The special Fidau prayer and lecture took place at Peacock Hall, Island Club Onikan, Lagos. The prayers were led by the Imams of Lagos Central Mosque, while the guest lecturer was Dr. Saheed Timehin, an Associate Professor at the Lagos State University (LASU). Solape on the other hand with her children, chose to visit his graveside to offer prayers on the first anniversary of his passing. The late Seriki was a politician, teacher, businessman, and public administrator who died in Madrid, Spain where he was serving his motherland as the Nigeria ambassador to Spain. He died on 15 December 2022, at the age of 63.
