The Minister of Youth Development, Olawale Olawande has joined several other notable Nigerians to mourn the departed traditional ruler of Idanre, His Royal Imperial, Oba Fredrick Adegunle Aroloye Arubiefin IV the Owa of Idanre.
The Minister said, “With Owa’s death, we lost a strong pillar and bastion of wisdom.”
“The passing of our royal father and frontline traditional ruler, the Owa of Idanre, Oba Fredrick Adegunle Aroloye Arubiefin IV effectively closed a rich chapter in the compelling history of traditional rulership in Idanre town.
“The death of Oba Frederick Aroloye is particularly a great loss to those of us, young people, who relied greatly on his deep wisdom and counsel as we navigate through life’s complexities.
“The Owa was a peaceful man and a father to all and sundry. He epitomised unity and constantly supported progress. His wisdom, which he freely and willingly shared, was unparalleled and saw to the progress of Idanre during his near 5 decades reign. Indeed, Kabiesi’s unique leadership and simplicity will be sorely missed.”
He extended his deep condolences to the immediate family of the departed monarch and the entire people of Idanre.
“I extend my deep condolences to the immediate family of Oba Fredrick Aroloye and the entire Idanre Land. I also urge the family and the people of Idanre to take solace in the understanding that the late monarch lived a life of service to humanity. I prayed to God to accept the return of the monarch and grant him eternal peace,” said, Olawande.
