The President in a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, affirmed that “the late Kabiyesi was a visionary and compassionate leader, who used the spheres of his influence as a respected traditional ruler and a lover of the creative industry to advance the progress of his people, encouraging and motivating them to give their best in their vocation and to the nation.”
“While his demise understandably leaves a huge void to fill, the President urges the people of Ibadan and Nigerians from different walks of life to honour the eternal memory of the deceased by imbibing the virtues he cherished so much: generosity, peace, tolerance and devotion to unity,” the statement read in part.
The President also expressed hope that the process of selecting the 42nd Olubadan will be guided by wisdom, understanding and good judgment that the departed 41st Olubadan exemplified in his lifetime.
President Buhari prayed God to grant the soul of Oba Adetunji eternal rest and comfort the family, friends, associates and subjects he left behind.
