Today has been a deeply painful one. We’ve lost two giants, former President Muhammadu Buhari, and Kabiyesi Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland.
Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona was more than a monarch, he was a pillar. For 65 years, he guided Ijebuland with wisdom and grace. He was respected far beyond the boundaries of Ogun State, and he earned every bit of that respect. His legacy is in the lives he shaped, the peace he maintained, and the progress he helped bring to his people.
It’s hard to imagine Ijebuland without him. He was a leader whose voice mattered. His presence commanded respect. And above all, his heart was always with his people.
My thoughts are with Governor Dapo Abiodun, the good people of Ijebuland and Ogun State, and the families of these two remarkable men. Today, we mourn together. May their souls find peace.
