Olubadan’s Demise: Governor Adeleke Mourns Oba Olakulehin.

● Commiserates with Governor Makinde, Oyo State Government, and Ibadan People

OSOGBO – 07/07/2025 – osunstate.gov.ng

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has expressed deep grief over the passing of the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, describing the loss as a profound blow not only to Ibadan but to the entire Yoruba nation.

Governor Adeleke extended heartfelt condolences to Governor Seyi Makinde, the Government of Oyo State, the Olubadan-in-Council, the Royal Family, and the people of Ibadan, noting that Oba Olakulehin’s reign though brief was marked by dignity, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the progress and unity of the people of Ibadanland.

“Oba Olakulehin was a monarch of profound wisdom and grace. Even within a short reign, he embodied the virtues of Yoruba Royalty’s calm leadership, cultural pride, and unwavering love for his people,” Governor Adeleke said in a condolence message.

He added that the late monarch’s passing at the age of 90 marks the end of a remarkable chapter in the traditional institution of Ibadanland and leaves a legacy of selfless service, courage and peace.

“On behalf of the Government and people of Osun State, I extend sincere condolences to Governor Seyi Makinde, the Government of Oyo State, the Olubadan-in-Council, and the entire people of Ibadan on the passing of the 43rd Olubadan, His Imperial Majesty Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.

“Oba Olakulehin, even in his final days, remained a symbol of continuity, cultural wisdom, and Royal honour. His transition is a great loss not only to the throne of Ibadanland but to the Yoruba people whose values he dutifully upheld.

“May God comfort the people of Ibadan and grant the late monarch eternal rest among his forebears.”
