 STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE ( Reissued and bio corrected)


 


President Tinubu Mourns the Passing of Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin


 


President Bola Tinubu has received with deep shock the news of the passing of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who passed away at the age of 90.


 


The President extends his heartfelt condolences to the royal family, the government, and people of Oyo State, as well as the entire Ibadanland, on the loss of a revered traditional ruler, a statesman, and a symbol of peace, wisdom, and continuity.


 


President Tinubu mourns the Olubadan and celebrates his remarkable life of service to his people, the state, and the nation.


 


President Tinubu describes the late monarch as a highly accomplished man of peace, a public servant, a former military officer and a royal father whose life embodies the highest ideals of leadership, learning, and service.


 


"Oba Owolabi Olakulehin was not only a custodian of Ibadan's rich history and culture but also a man of intellect and principle whose contributions extended beyond the palace into education, governance, the military and national development. His passing is a significant loss to Ibadanland and the nation.


 


"Just last week, I received an invitation from the late Olubadan to his 90th birthday and first coronation anniversary celebrations. Shockingly, his death came days before the anniversary. He will be remembered for upholding the honour and prestige of his highly revered stool," the President says.


 


President Tinubu lauds Oba Olakulehin's legacy as one that bridged tradition and modernity, adding that his wisdom and moral authority served as a stabilising force in Ibadanland and the wider Yoruba nation.


 


The President prays for the peaceful repose of the monarch's soul and urges the people of Ibadan to take solace in his life and the values he embodied.
