    Yeyeluwa (Princess) Folashade Azeezat Abeo, Iyaloja General of Oyo State, has described the death of Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba (Dr) Saliu Akanmu Adetunji as a great loss to the market men and women, Ibadanland, Oyo state and Nigeria in general.

    Abeo, who was reacting to the death of the Olubadan on Tuesday in Ibadan, said that the death of the monarch was very painful and had created a wide vacuum which would be difficult to fill.

    Expressing shock and sadness over the death of the late Olubadan, she described him as a humble father known for fairness and justice.

    She said she received with “profound sadness,” news of the passing away of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, late Oba (Dr) Saliu Akanmu Adetunji Ajé Ogugunuso. 

    “On behalf of the council of market men and women, I wish to extend our heartfelt commiseration to Governor Seyi Makinde, the Olubadan in Council, the people of Ibadanland and Oyo state on the passage of the highly respected monarch,” she said. 

    She said the late Olubadan showed love to people who lived in his domain, irrespective of their tribe and religious inclination.

    He also described the deceased as a “Godly man, who has the interest of his subjects at heart above any other thing,” adding that “the late monarch lived exemplary life worthy of emulation; his forgiving spirit was exceptional”.

    She urged the deceased’s family to sustain his good legacy, adding that he always put the unity of the country first.

    Abeo described the death of the Olubadan as a monumental loss to the people of the state and the nation at large, especially now that the country desires pious and trustworthy community leaders that would preach and dwell on things that can promote peace and tranquillity as well as foster the unity of the country.

    He prayed that Allah reward his soul with Al-Jannah Firdausi and to as well grant his immediate family, the formidable fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
