Traditionalists seek early successor
The Oyo State chapter of the Traditional Worshippers Association of Nigeria, yesterday, said that the death of the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Abdganiy Salawudeen Adekunle Oloogunebi, was painful because of his contributions towards the growth of the Iseyin community.

In a statement signed by its branch Chairman, Adefabi Dasola and Secretary, Mogaji Fatunde, the association said the late monarch did all he could to unite his subjects across religious and political divides.

It urged the kingmakers and community leaders to make haste and replace the king with another suitable candidate that will continue with the drive to unite indigenes and work for the progress of the people and society.

SIMILARLY, the Nigerian Envoy to Ukraine, Ambassador Shina Alege and the entire Alege family in Iseyin have commiserated with the Iseyin community.

ALSO, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, described the death of the monarch as a colossal loss.

Adams in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, said that the death of the first class monarch had robbed Yorubaland of another illustrious son.
