His service to humanity was exceptional — Tinubu mourns Olubadan

“The President condoles with the family of the Olubadan, the
government of Oyo State, the Olubadan-in-Council, the Oyo State Traditional
Council, and the people of Ibadanland and Oyo State over this gaping loss.”

President Tinubu celebrated his remarkable life of service
to his people, the state, and the nation.

He said, “His Imperial Majesty, the Olubadan of Ibadanland,
was an exceptional king who used his ancestral stool in the service of
humanity.

“He was compassionate, courageous, and an unrelenting
advocate of the pristine ideals of peace, honesty, and unity. His wise counsel
will be sorely missed at this time in the life of our country,” the statement
added.

The President, however, urged all who are mourning to find
solace in the legacies of the late king, saying “The Olubadan lives eternally
in his good deeds and the memories of everyone touched by the majesty of his
essence.”
