Gov Abdulrazaq mourns Olubadan

Kwara State Governor/Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has joined the Nigerian community to mourn the death of the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadan Land, Oba (Senator) Lekan Balogun.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Rafiu Ajakaye, in Ilorin on Friday, the governor described the passage of the traditional ruler as a sad development.

“On behalf of the people of Kwara State, the Governor similarly condoles His Excellency, the Oyo State Governor/NGF Vice Chairman, Engineer Seyi Makinde and the people of Ibadan and Oyo State as a whole on the sad development.

“The late Olubadan was a man whose place in history is already etched in gold because of not just his quality royal leadership to his people but also for his service to the country as a senator of the Federal Republic, according to Governor AbdulRazaq.

“The Governor asks Allah, the Living and Everlasting, to admit the first class monarch to Al-jannah Firdaus and strengthen the family and Ibadan community after his death”.
