Immediately it was announced that former Chief of General Staff, Gen. Oladipo Diya had passed on, his younger brother, Hon. Wole and one of the sons of first wife began to struggle for who to represent the family in decision making and other important burial processes.
In all of this, the two people fighting have not brought the first child of the family and the first son, Simi Diya into their decisions.
Unfortunately, Simi at this period is fighting the battle of his life as he is awaiting a life-saving procedure in the UK, making it a bit slower for him to come down and take his rightful place in the scheme of things.
The warring family members are taking advantage of Simi's illness to usurp him in the scheme of things.
They have gone ahead to meet with the Governor of Ogun State in taking decisions towards the burial, leaving Simi in the dark at to discussions.
They have started searching documents in t bedroom of the deceased and doing so many things against the principles of good conscience.
Simi is in pains right now and he needs to be heard.
General Olusegun Obasanjo has written a condolence letter directed to Simi, the way it should be done in Yoruba land, where the first male child is seen as the natural leader in the family.
Governor Dapo Abiodun and the rest should take a cue from Gen. Obasanjo and direct all queries to Simi until his arrival, which will be soon.
