CONDOLENCE ON THE PASSAGE OF OBA JAMES ADEDOKUN ADEGOKE

I wish to express my most sincere and heartfelt sympathy, to the people of Ipetumodu and the entire people of Origbo in the Ife North Local Government Area of Osun state, on the peaceful passage of our highly revered monarch Oba James Adedokun Adegoke, who passed on, on the 26th of November, 2017, to join his illustrious forebears. I.e. the likes of late Oba Ayoola I, Oba oloyede and Oba Ayoola II.

I wish to recall my last visit to the palace, sometime in August, 2017 in the course of my consultation drive, as a governorship aspirant in Osun state, come 2018, on the platform of Alliance for Democracy, to seek for his prayerful wishes and supports.

I recalled his advice on this memorable day and I treasure the prayers he offered to me. I am always fond of Ipetumodu as a city, that offered me secondary education- Origbo Community High School, Ipetumodu and I am happy I made a good choice in attending the school, under the Principalships of Chief Olawumi Falodun and Chief Ade Adefarati, later Governor of Ondo State. I made friendships across the entire Origbo land in the course of my secondary education and I still relate with most families in Origbo land.
May the Almighty Lord grant the people of Ipetumodu and the entire people of Origbo land, the fortitude to bear this loss.
May the soul of our revered monarch, continue to find peaceful repose with the Lord.
