The former Vice-President and 2023 presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has joined several other notable personalities in Nigeria to mourn the late Owa Obokun of Ijesha Land, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aranmolaran, who joined his ancestors.
Atiku, in a statement, took to his official social media handle to mourn the late monarch.
The statement read, “With a heavy heart, I received the news of the passing of the Owa Obokun of Ijesha land, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran.
“The late Owa was more than a father-in-law to me. Each time I visited him, he accorded me the homecoming welcome of a son.
“We all loved him dearly. He was a great monarch and personified the boldness, courage, and discipline of the Ijesha progeny.
“On behalf of my wife, Titi, I share my condolences with the Owa-in-Council and the entire indigenes and residents of Ijesha land, especially members of the royal family.
“As Oba Aromolaran turns his face to his Maker, I pray that his soul finds a gentle repose. Amen.”
