January 03, (THEWILL) – Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has expressed his condolence to his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde and the entire people of Ibadan over the demise of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji.
Oba Adetunji had passed on at the age of 93 at the University College Teaching Hospital, Ibadan, after a brief illness.
Abiodun, in a statement on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, described the death of Aje Ogungunniso 1, as a great loss not only to Ibadanland, but the entire Yorubaland.
He said the monarch was an embodiment of peace, whose reign witnessed great development of his domain.
Abiodun further noted that the late monarch used his wealth and wisdom to bear while on the throne, declaring he would be sorely missed.
The governor, while urging the people of Ibadanland to take solace in the fact that the late king’s reign was peaceful and progressive, prayed Allah to grant Oba Adetunji Aljanah Firdaus.
