President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday recalled with fondness how Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, who joined his ancestors on July 13, predicted his victory in the 2023 election and added that he would win re-election in 2027.
Tinubu spoke in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, on the life and times of the departed traditional ruler during his eighth day fidau held at Dipo Dina Stadium, where dignitaries bade him final farewell.
At the monarch’s final resting place, the president laid wreaths before holding a private meeting with the bereaved family during the condolence visit.
Describing Oba Adetona as a leader of “conscience and dignity, the President said he was committed to the pursuit of truth and justice.
President Tinubu said: “Today marks a very great day in the history of our nation and particularly the history of our race, the Yoruba race. You can find any further definition of our culture. If you go further from Awujale, you will learn a lot.
