It is with profound sorrow that I, Dr. Akande Kazeem Babatunde, extend my deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, and the entire people of Ibadanland on the passing of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
His demise on Monday, July 7, 2025, has left a void in our hearts and a significant loss to our cherished community in Oyo State and Nigeria at large.
Oba Olakulehin’s reign, though brief, was characterized by wisdom, unity, and an unwavering dedication to the progress of Ibadanland. His legacy as a revered monarch will remain a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.
To the family of Oba Olakulehin and the people of Ibadanland, I offer my heartfelt sympathies. May the Almighty grant you strength to bear this loss, and may the soul of our departed monarch rest in eternal peace.
Signed,
Dr. Akande Kazeem Babatunde
