Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has commiserated with the government and people of Oyo State over the transition to the great beyond of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.
According to the condolence message signed by his media aide, Nathaniel Ikyur, Ortom described the late Oyo monarch as a brave and courageous king who did everything possible to preserve the culture and tradition of his people.
The governor noted that Oba Adeyemi’s reign witnessed peace and unity of the kingdom, which created the enabling environment for growth and development, not just in Oyo State but also in Nigeria.
He lamented that the late monarch departed at a time when his wisdom and wealth of experience was needed to navigate through the murky waters of politics and the national insecurity threatening the corporate exitence of our dear country, Nigeria.
Ortom said, “Oba Adeyemi was a respected royal father who was conscious about the peace and unity of his kingdom and the nation. We shall miss his tutelage and wise counsel.”
He however admonished the people of Oyo state to take solace in the fact that the late monarch lived an eventful and accomplished life worthy of emulation.
The Governor asked his counterpart in Oyo state to immortalize the Oba in recognition of his sacrifices and contributions to the development of the society.
