President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday commiserated with the people of Ibadan and the government of Oyo State on the death of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Samuel Odulana.
The President, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also extended heartfelt condolences to the family of the late monarch.
He described the deceased as a patriot, promoter of peace, unity and champion of the wellbeing of his subjects.
He noted that the passage of Oba Odulana is a great loss not only to the people of Ibadan, but also the entire country, saying the monarch rich and wise counsel will be missed.
“Nigeria needs the wisdom of such senior citizens and their wealth of experience and moral standards, especially at a time like this that we want to change the orientation and ethical values of our people to place higher priority on hard work, discipline, honesty, accountability and transparency,” President Buhari said on the late Olubadan, who died at the age of 101.
