Obasanjo personally broke the news when he hosted women leaders from the South-west at his residence in Abeokuta.
He said the scheduled visit would not have been, “if only I realised that my sister would be called. But, the appointment has been scheduled.”
The women leaders, drawn from community, religious and market sections in the five south west states including Lagos, were led by the Iyalode of Yorubaland, Mrs. Alaba Lawson.
The delegation later prayed for the repose of the dead and prayed to God for the Obasanjo family to have the fortitude to bear the loss.
Also, church members of the Christ Chapel of the Glorious King, where Obasanjo is a member, visited to commiserate with the Obasanjos.
The late Madam Eweje-Obasanjo, commonly refer to as Mama Eweje, died last Tuesday at an Ota private hospital after a brief illness.
One of her daughters, Titi, who spoke with journalists, said burial arrangements would be announced later.
