“Late Oba Adetunji was a great monarch who loved his people and worked relentlessly for the upliftment of his community, the state and the nation as a whole. His demise no doubt, is a great loss to all,” he said

He implored that the legacy of the good works of late Oba Adetunji must not be allowed to die in whatever form, stressing, his legacies and good memories must be kept alive for generations to come.

Meanwhile, Oke has prayed that God should continue to uphold the family, the ancient town, Oyo State and the country by granting them the fortitude to bear the loss of the traditional ruler to the cold hands of death.
