The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, has sympathised with the family of the Olubadam of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who joined his ancestors in the early hours of today.
Alaafin, in a condolence statement released by his Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, lamented that his death came barely 12 months after he ascended the revered throne of Ibadanland.
He described the late Olubadan as a visionary monarch whose contributions to the development of both Ibadanland and the people within his shortest reign would remain indelible. He however extended his deepest sympathies, on behalf of himself and the people of Oyo town, to the bereaved family and the people of Ibadanland.
