Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has declared that the state government will give the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Sen Lekan Balogun CFR, Alli Okunmade II, a befitting burial.

He described the late Ibadan foremost traditional ruler as a cerebral traditional ruler and an amiable personality.

Makinde stated this on Friday, at the Aliiwo Compound, Ibadan, after the Salat al’Janazah for the late traditional ruler, noting that Oyo State and Nigeria have lost a great traditional ruler.

The governor was represented at the burial ceremony for the late Olubadan by his deputy, Alhaji Bayo Lawal.

He said the late oba left legacies and beautiful memories in terms of developments attracted to Ibadanland, assuring that the state government will leverage the legacies to chart a greater course for the city and the state.

The governor described the late traditional ruler as an intellectual and achieved politician before his ascension to the throne of his forebears.

He added that the late Oba Lekan Balogun brought his wealth of experience to bear on the throne.

He said: “We can describe the late monarch in many ways. First, he was one of the few cerebral individuals to become Olubadan of Ibadanland. He was very educated and an intellectual.

“He took issues intellectually and, for that reason, we know that we have lost a monarch.

“Secondly, he was a politician of note. He was a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria between 1999 and 2003, and he climbed the ladder to become the Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“Moving forward, his legacies, memories will chart a course for us, not only in Ibadanland, but in Oyo State and Nigeria.

“He was an amiable man as we all know. He was very jovial and friendly and we pray to Almighty Allah that he will meet His creator in peace.”

Governor Makinde assured that the late Oba Balogun will be honoured by the state, saying that the state government will be fully involved in whatever programmes will ensure that he is given a befitting burial.

“Let me assure you on behalf of His Excellency that whatever it will take to give the late monarch a befitting burial, the state government will do it.

“For now, the Muslim rites have been done and we believe that, moving forward, whatever programme that will follow will have the involvement of the state government,” the deputy governor added.

Governor Makinde also expressed the confidence that, with the seamlessness in the Olubadan Chieftaincy System, the next Olubadan will step in and take the mantle of leadership to move Ibadanland to its next level.

He said: “Now, the ascension to the throne of Olubadan has always been peaceful and we pray that whoever is coming in as Olubadan of Ibadanland, will take the mantle from where Oba Balogun dropped it.”

The Islamic funeral prayers had in attendance top dignitaries in the Oyo State government, members of the Olubadan-in-Council and Ibadan mogajis.

Others were Islamic clerics, including the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states, Alhaji Dawud Akinola Makanjuola and the Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Alhaji Abdulganiy Agbotomokekere, among others.
