President Muhammadu Buhari says he has received with sadness the news of the transition of one of Nigeria’s foremost traditional rulers, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II.

“President Buhari extends sincere condolences to the late Ooni’s family, his friends, associates and subjects, as well as the government and people of Osun State on the departure of the First Class Monarch,” a statement by his special adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina read.

“The President joins them in mourning the revered traditional ruler who will be long remembered and celebrated for his worthy service, over more than three decades, as the Chief Custodian of the traditions of the Yoruba's and his invaluable contributions to the sustenance of the cultural heritage of his people within and outside Nigeria.”“Buhari believes that Oba Sijuwade’s place in posterity has already been assured by his long and worthy service to his people and country as well as his notable contributions to the development of his community, state and country as a leading businessman, administrator and inspirational traditional ruler.

”He urged the Ooni’s family, friends, associates and subjects to be consoled by the knowledge that he lived a very fulfilled life, and has left worthy legacies for his successors to build upon.”He prayed that God Almighty will comfort all those who mourn Oba Sijuwade and bring forth a worthy successor to to take his place on the ancient throne of Ile-Ife.

Hello Introvert.

I must make the front page today..... I must make the front page today.....

So Ooni is finally dead...... And Osun State Government can not afford State-burial now and the reason is obvious......(To pay workers salary sef na wahala)

Let the Family, friends and well wishers take the responsibility.

I also mourn the "Innocent Soul(s)" that will be buried with the Ooni.

Rest in Peace Kabiyesi

Is alright

RIP King

Abeg Run...the late King no get descendants or grand children? Why not use those one and leave the poor Abobaku alone!

This is evil and highly Condemnable not to think of using a human as sacrificial lamb.
