African Democratic Congress, ADC, extends its deepest condolences to the family, the government of Oyo, the people of Ibadanland, and the entire Yoruba nation on the passing of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the revered Olubadan of Ibadan, who joined his ancestors at the age of 90.
In a statement by it’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi described Oba Olakulehin as a distinguished monarch, a beacon of wisdom, and a custodian of Yoruba culture and traditions. His reign was marked by exemplary leadership, unity, and a commitment to the progress and well-being of Ibadanland.
His legacy as a peace-loving and visionary king will forever be etched in the hearts of his people and beyond.
We mourn the loss of this great icon, whose life exemplified service, humility, and dedication to the development of his people. As we share in this moment of grief, we pray that Almighty God grants his family, the Ibadan Traditional Council, and the people of Oyo State the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
May the soul of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, rest in perfect peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire generations.
