The ex- ALGON leader described the late Alaafin of Oyo as an icon of international status whose contribution to the development of humanity transcended beyond ethnic barriers and his contribution to the development of Oyo town, Oyo State and the nation will forever be in gold prints.
Aleshinloye further stated that the town would sorely miss Oba Lamidi Adeyemi whom he said was indeed a role model and a wise ruler who without fear or favour ruled his people with great wisdom and high sense of humour.
“As mortals we never want our elderly ones to die, but the Holy Books say that all souls must taste death.So, we have to submit to the supreme will of the Almighty Allah from whom we came and unto whom we shall all return,” he said.
He urged the children and the entire family of the late Alaafin of Oyo to be consoled by the fact that the late first class monarch lived a good life, impacted lives and left legacies of a good name and honour.
“I pray that God would repose the soul of the departed monarch and comfort the family and the people of Oyo State,”the most distinguished Ibadan Indigene added.
