With deep sorrow and a heavy heart, Prince Kayode Oyetunde Bayewuwon (PKOB) joins the eminent sons and daughters of Ibadan, home and abroad, the whole of Oyo State, and all Nigerians to mourn the passing of His Imperial Majesty, the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
While the news of Kabiyesi’s departure is painful, and a huge loss, PKOB celebrates a life well spent — a reign of wisdom, peace, and dignity. The Olúbàdàn was a symbol of tradition, unity, and progress, and his legacies will endure long after him.
Prince Bayewuwon extends his heartfelt condolences to the royal family, and the entire people of Ìbàdàn. He prays that the Almighty grants the departed monarch eternal rest and give the people the fortitude to bear this great loss.
“Adieu, Kabiyesi. Your reign was impactful, your life was inspiring.”
