President Bola Tinubu has paid tribute to the late Awujale of Ijebu, Oba Sikiru Adetona, describing him as an iconic and dignified traditional ruler who served with unwavering duty, honor, and selfless service to his people. 

Oba Adetona passed away on Sunday at 91, just hours after the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, a close friend of the monarch.

President Tinubu praised Oba Adetona's 65-year reign, marked by notable progress and transformation in Ijebu-Ode and the wider Ijebu community, noting that the monarch's leadership promoted unity, development, and national cohesion, and that he stood as a voice of reason and symbol of stability during times of national uncertainty.

Reflecting on his personal relationship with Oba Adetona, describing it as a bond filled with wisdom and strength, he extended condolences to the royal family, Governor Dapo Abiodun, and the people of Ogun State and Ijebu community, praying for Oba Adetona's peaceful rest and strength to uphold his legacy.
