The Senator representing Osun East at the red chamber, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi has expressed shock as Owa Obokun, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran joins his ancestors at 86.
He said the Osun first class monarch was a pride of the Yoruba race and an epitome of Intellectualism.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Segun-Progress said the late Monarch who was a friend to all brought a series of developments to his domain and beyond during his over four decades of reign.
Fadahunsi described the death of the Monarch as a big loss that has created a vacuum too large to fill.
“It is a big loss to us in Ijesha land,the state and the Nation because he was a foremost scholar,a Charismatic and jovial ruler”
“We can only console the family,the industrious people he led and mourn him gracefully,because he came ,he saw and he conquered.”
According to the lawmaker, the late ruler will forever be remembered for being great, charismatic and a great lover of his people.
He prays God grants his immediate family, the Ijesa people, Osun state government, the Nation,and others who might be mourning him from far and near the fortitude to bear the loss.
