Governor Abiodun, in a statement he personally signed on Sunday and made available to journalists by his Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran, said Awujale, who was the spiritual head of all traditional rulers in Ijebuland, left behind “remarkable legacies that has significantly shaped Ijebuland, Ogun State and Nigeria in general”.

“it is indeed double sadness that Oba Adetona joined his ancestors the same day that the former President, Muhammadu Buhari died in a London, the United Kingdom hospital.

“Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona was a remarkable royal father, who ascended the throne in 1960, marking the beginning of a transformative era for Ijebuland.

“Under his guidance, Ijebuland witnessed remarkable strides in infrastructure and community development, establishing itself as a model of progress in Ogun State. His leadership not only enhanced the cultural heritage of Ijebuland with the Ojude Oba festival attaining international standards but also solidified its reputation as a thriving hub of commerce and tradition,” the statement said.

As the people mourn the passing of the monarch, Governor Abiodun added, “let us celebrate the extraordinary life of Oba Adetona and honour his contributions to our country. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to the betterment of his people will forever be etched in our hearts.”

He prayed that the soul of the respected royal father rest in peace, “and may we continue to uphold the values he instilled in us during his illustrious reign”.
