The Yoruba socio-cultural and political group, Afenifere, Oyo State Chapter, under the chairmanship of Dr. Gbola Adetunji, has expressed condolence to Governor Seyi Makinde, and the people of Iseyin on the demise of Oba Abduganiyu Adekunle Salawudeen.
It would be recalled that the 28th Aseyin of Iseyin, who reigned for 15 years joined his ancestors on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
The group in a release by its state Publicity Secretary, Prince Remi Adegbola, enjoined the governor and the people of Iseyin to take consolation in the fact that the late monarch lived a purposeful life and that Iseyin witnessed tremendous infrastructural developments under his reign.
Among the projects mentioned were the construction of Moniya-Iseyin Road, location of the Faculty of Agriculture of Ladoke Akintola University at Iseyin, construction of Iseyin-Ogbomoso Road, rehabilitation of Iseyin-Oyo Road, all by Governor Seyi Makinde administration and the dualization of the major township roads by the previous administration.
“All these are golden legacies of fifteen years of Oba Abduganiyu Adekunle Salawudeen Ologunebi as the Aseyin of Iseyin,” he said.
The release quoted the state chairman of the organisation, Dr. Adetunji, as describing the late Aseyin as a ‘pragmatic leader’, while praying that God will grant the people of Iseyin in particular and Oke Ogun in general the fortitude to bear the great loss.
