It is with a heavy heart and deep sense of loss that I mourn the passing of our revered monarch, His Imperial Majesty Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
He was not only a traditional ruler but a symbol of dignity, cultural heritage, and fatherly leadership.
As we bid farewell to a great royal father, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Olubadan-in-Council, the people of Ibadanland, the Oyo State Traditional Council, and indeed the entire Yoruba race on this irreparable loss.
May Almighty Allah grant his soul eternal rest and give his family and the good people of Ibadan the strength to bear this great loss.
