The Chairman of house committee commerce and Trades investments Hon Razaq Mabaje said the death of the Olubadan was shocking and painful to him, and he knows that the rest of Ibadanland feel the same way having just lost a great king who showed unmatched commitment to the cultural and socioeconomic development of Ibadanland.
Expressing his condolences to the Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, immediate family of the Olubadan, the Olubadan-in-Council and all Ibadan indigenes, Mabaje said the late monarch was a respectable king who promoted the values, ethos and culture of not just Ibadanland but the entire Yorubaland.
“I received with utter shock, the news of the passing of our father, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Senator Dr Mohood Olalekan Balogun Alli-Okunmade II. The pain of his passing will be felt in the void of wisdom and the active manner Kabiyesi held the cultural and socioeconomic development of Ibadanland at heart.
His wealth of experience, his immense wisdom, and his commitment to seeing a greater Ibadan and a better Oyo State are unrivalled in tenacity. Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria and humanity at large will miss Kabiyesi – he was ever ready to give his all to see a better society.
“As I urge us to honour him by celebrating his enduring and exemplary legacies, I pray the God almighty will grant his soul Aljanna Firdaus, and console his immediate family together with all sons and daughters of Ibadanland” .
