The Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa has commiserated with the people of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on the death of the Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan said the governor extended his commiserations to the Government of Oyo State and Governor Seyi Makinde on the death of the great monarch.
The governor said the passing of Ọba Lekan Balogun after two years on the throne is a monumental loss that can only be imagined, describing the late monarch as a silent achiever and lover of peace.
“Within a short period of time, he added, Oba Balogun ensured communal peace and stability while deploying his rich experience in the traditional leadership of Ibadan.
“While praying to God to give the Oyo State government the wisdom to fill the vacuum the late monarch has left behind, he also prayed for the repose of the soul of the amiable king,” the statement read in part.
