Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has condoled with the people of Ikare Akoko in the Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State over the death of the monarch of the town, the Owa Ale of Ikareland, Oba Samuel Adedoyin-Adegbite.
Oba Adedoyin-Adegbite, who was the President of the ‘130 Krown Oba’, died in August at the age of 85 and his daughter, Princess Aderinsola Olabisi-Adedoyin, has since assumed the role of the regent.
Obasanjo, in his condolence message said, “Our revered Oba brought his salutary influence to sue for peace, understanding and development in lkare-Akoko community in particular and the entire Ondo State in general throughout his 48 impactful years on the throne of his forefathers.
“Although Oba Samuel Adedoyin-Adegbite’s passage is like a dream, especially as he left us at a crucial state in our nation’s history when his wise counsel and rich experience are greatly needed. I would urge you, the Chiefs of lkare-Akoko Kingdom, the entire lkare-Akoko community and all the members of his immediate and extended family to take solace in the worthy legacy and his mark on the history of this country he left behind.”
