Atiku Abubakar mourns late monarch of Ijeshaland

With a heavy heart, I received the news of the passing of the Owa Obokun of Ijesha land, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran.

The late Owa was more than a father-in-law to me. Each time I visited him, he accorded me the homecoming welcome of a son.

We all loved him dearly. He was a great monarch and personified the boldness, courage, and discipline of the Ijesha progeny.

On behalf of my wife, Titi, I share my condolences with the Owa-in-Council and the entire indigenes and residents of Ijesha land, especially members of the royal family.

As Oba Aromolaran turns his face to his Maker, I pray that his soul finds a gentle repose. Amen.
