President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not attend the recent burial of his brother, Pa Oladejo Sangodele, in Iragbiji, Osun State, fueling further speculation about his family background. According to a source close to the Sangodele family, Tinubu deliberately avoided the ceremony to prevent raising questions about his origins.

The anonymous source revealed that Tinubu and the late Pa Sangodele were brothers, with Tinubu being the family' s last child. After being taken to Lagos by Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, his name was changed, and he was raised there. The source added that Tinubu later facilitated the relocation of Adegboyega Oyetola, Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and former Osun State governor, to Lagos. Oyetola, described as the son of Tinubu' s eldest sibling, was reportedly educated and supported by the president.

" Tinubu' s actual surname is Sangodele, and he is from Iragbiji, " the source stated. " Pa Sangodele was his brother, and Oyetola is the son of Tinubu' s mother' s first child. Tinubu trusts Oyetola deeply, especially after Oyetola managed his affairs during his exile in the 1990s. "

Meanwhile, Engineer Olalekan AbdulRahman, Executive Director at the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, confirmed Oyetola' s presence at the Christian Wake held for the deceased. In a Facebook post, AbdulRahman described Pa Sangodele as a disciplinarian and a father figure to Oyetola, who praised the late patriarch' s integrity during the service.
