Awolowo's Grandson, Olusegun Awolowo Jr Dies At 62 by press9jatv(op): 8:35pm On Nov 20, 2025
Former Executive Director of Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) Olusegun Awolowo, is dead. He was 62.

The family, in a statement, confirmed the incident.

It said: “With extremely heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather- Olusegun Awolowo.

"He was the world’s most phenomenal husband, father and grandfather — steady, wise, endlessly loving, and the constant anchor of our family. A painfully loyal servant to Nigeria, he dedicated his life to the service of his country with vision, integrity, passion, and unwavering commitment. He was a true family man, a great friend, a wonderful servant of God, and a deeply beautiful human being.

“He loved his family. "

Was it Tinubu that arrested him? Are you saying Tinubu should have subverted judicial process? Let the man appeal the judgement and present his evidence that he's innocent of the allegations.

He will pardon him, he wants to use the pardon to collect you people's vote ,that's is why he make sure there was a judgement, he will now grant pardon, if he was sincere he would have discontinued the case for reconciliation purposes but no that 2027 is uppermost in his mind and ready to use anything to get it and kanu seem a good opportunity

His grandfather, obafemi awolowo, committed serious crime against humanity and against God by using starvation strategy against the south east people during the civil war which led to the death of over 2 million people.

Indeed. Yet Ojukwu, his family members and soldiers were looking as fat as anything. You better wake up Ojukwu and ask what happened to the food of the victims of his own actions.

May his soul E.I.P
His father's life was short but highly impactful

As a grandson, he got so spoilt by Obafemi Awolowo
Read law in OSU, which he never practiced.
Lived under the leverage of his grandfather's image.
Example of been born with a golden spoon

God bless Obafemi Awolowo.

He made the right decision

Obafemi Awólòwó his grandfather was a renowned member of the Rosicrucian Order and also a member of the Reformed Ogboni Confraternity.

There is a strange trail between the death of Segun Awólòwó (Snr) and now the son who was still very young at 62.

Sad loss to his Mother who is still alive.

RIP.

Why didn't same apply to Sunday IGBOHO? He was also charged on the same charges by BUHARI just like MNK. You see the hypocrisy that emanated from your region . That is what will consume your region.

BIAFRA is a Spirit.

On the day of a foolish judgement the lineage of the hero of bigots is being wiped out.

It will get to everyone and this same BIAFRA will materialize.

We dey watch...

He was a notorious during his youth.

Tabloids were always carrying his escapades.

I think he was spoilt. I think his dad died quite early, so was overcompensated by being doted on.
