Late Oba Sijuwade Was A Great Monarch - Amosun

ABEOKUTA, NIGERIA - Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has mourned the exit of first-class Yoruba monarch and foremost traditional ruler in Nigeria, the Ooni of Ife, His Royal Majesty, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II.

In a press release signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr Taiwo Adeoluwa, the governor described the transition of the Chairman of the State of Osun Traditional Council as "lamentable, but also worthy of celebration, because his life truly ran its full course."

"Oba Sijuwade was a great monarch. He joined his ancestors at a time when his wealth of experience in all spheres of life was mostly needed to guide the younger generation," the governor said.

Amosun commiserated with the governments and people of South West, particularly the State of Osun and the traditional institutions in Nigeria on the loss of the highly revered king of Ile-Ife, the cradle and source of the Yoruba.

He urged them to take solace in the fact that the late paramount ruler led an exemplary life and "his regal footprints are endured on the sands of time."

Amosun prayed for the eternal repose of the soul of the late king.
