The Youth O Clock advocate, Hon. Ambassador Prince Samuel Adesegun Egunjobi mourned Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi through his Facebook post in the early hours of today.

According to the Prince, who is a very cultural young man and aspirant for the Ondo State House of Assembly, representing Owo Constituency II. He described the transitioning of the Alaafin of Oyo to the realm of the ancestors at age 83 as shocking.

" With an heavy heart, I received the shocking news of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Alaafin of Oyo joining his ancestors in the late hours of Friday at the Afe Babalola University teaching hospital.
This is indeed a great loss to the whole Yoruba nation, Oyo state government and the good people of Oyo.
Your leadership as a royal father has brought peace, abundance, progress to Yoruba land and prosperity to Yoruba sons and daughters at home and in diaspora.
My condolences to the Royal household, Oyo Chief in Council, Yoruba Council of Obas and Oyo state Government.

Sun re o,
Atanda Alaafin Adeyemi,
Iku baba yeye
