The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Oyo State chapter, has urged the people to emulate the late Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun’s life of contentment, kindness and humility.
The state’s CAN Chairman, Joshua Akinyemiju, made the remark in a condolence message issued by the association, yesterday, in Ibadan. Akinyemiju said with the late Olubadan’s skills, exposure and experience, he exceeded the expectations of his subjects within a period of two years. He said that the departure of the king “is an irreparable loss and a sad occurrence.”
“It is sad that he had to transmit to the greater beyond at this time, but we thank God that he lived a great life of sacrifice and left legacies of peace, progress and fear of God behind. “On behalf of Oyo CAN, I commiserate with all those who mourn the transition of the great man of peace to eternity,” Akinyemiju said.
