It is with a heavy heart that I condole with Oro Kingdom over the sad passing of the Oloro of Oro Kingdom HRM Oba AbdulRafiu Olaniyi Ajiboye Oyelaran 1. This is a shocking and devastating news and I shared in the grief of all sons and daughters of Oro Kingdom.
No doubt the late Oloro, Oba AbdulRafiu Olaniyi Ajiboye will be remembered as a much-loved, visionary monarch who made an important contribution to cultural identity, unity and development of Kwara South and the State in general.
This occurrence is significant loss to Kwara South traditional institution and the state and the deceased would be sorely missed by all, adding that those mourning should be consoled by the fact that he left behind legacies of service to God and humanity which are there for everyone to see.
I pray to God on behalf of his family, Kwara South, State government, and the people of Oro, to grant the soul of late kabiyesi a peaceful repose, heals all hearts that are hurt by this grief and to keep the family and all that he left behind.
