Popular businessman, Sir. Dr. Kesington Adebunola Adebutu, the pillar of Methodism in Nigeria who is also the Odole-Oodua of The Source, has commiserated with the Ogbagba Royal Family & the sons & daughters of Ijebuland over the passing of the Awujale, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
In his one-page letter titled Farewell To A Foremost Royal Majesty-Oba Dr. Sikiru Kayode Adetona Gcon Ogbagba 11, Awujale And Paramount Ruler Of Ijebu-land.
It is with profound melancholy that I write to bid farewell to His Royal Majesty Oba Dr. Kayode Sikiru Adetona GCON, a monarch whose legacy will forever be etched in the annals of history.
The late Awujale’s reign was marked by wisdom, courage, and an unwavering commitment to the development and progress of Ijebu-Land.
His Majesty’s leadership was characterised by a deep understanding of the complexities of modern governance and a keen sense of diplomacy. He worked tirelessly to promote peace, unity, and cooperation among the various communities within his kingdom, and his efforts earned him the respect and admiration of his people.
The Late Awujale’s impact on the cultural heritage of Ijebu-Land cannot be overstated. He was a custodian of tradition and a champion of the arts, and his court was renowned for its vibrant cultural displays. His love for his people and his land was evident in every decision he made, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
As we mourn the loss of this great Royal Icon, we take solace in the knowledge that his impact will be felt for years to come in Ijebu-Land nay-Nigeria. May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacies continue to guide and inspire us. Amen.
