The delegation also included the late monarch’s younger brother, Mr. Osuolale Owolabi Olakulehin, and his son, Aremo Olasumbo Owolabi.

While receiving the delegation in his office, Governor Makinde expressed his condolences and pledged the state’s support for the family during this difficult time.
Chief Oyero, who spoke on behalf of the family, commended the state government for its support, particularly in organizing a remarkable coronation ceremony for the 43rd Olubadan.
It’s worth noting that Oba Akinloye Frederick Owolabi Olakulehin had celebrated his 90th birthday on July 5, just a short time before his passing.
He ascended the throne as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland about a year ago succeeding Oba Lekan Balogun.
