With a heart full of grief, I, Hon. Aderemi Oseni, Representative of Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency, join millions of Nigerians in mourning the passing of two monumental pillars in our nation’s political and traditional leadership:
His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR – former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a statesman whose leadership left indelible marks on Nigeria’s democratic path, national infrastructure, and anti-corruption legacy. His courage and sense of duty to the nation inspired generations of public servants, including myself.
His Royal Majesty, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona – the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, one of Nigeria’s most respected and revered traditional rulers. A royal father known for his wisdom, integrity, and tireless advocacy for the progress of Ijebuland and Yoruba culture. His decades of reign stood as a testament to stability, cultural pride, and leadership rooted in humility.
Nigeria has lost two great icons whose legacies will remain etched in our national story. I extend my prayers for their families, loved ones, and the communities they so faithfully served, that the Almighty grants comfort, fortitude, and peace in this period of great loss.
May the souls of these dearly departed leaders rest in perfect peace. Amen.
