ỌMỌ AJ'OROSUN CLUB MOURNS THE PASSING OF OBA OWOLABI OLAKULEHIN, OLUBADAN OF IBADANLAND
Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide
With hearts heavy with grief and reverence, Ọmọ Aj'Orosun Club, the foremost Club of indigenous sons of Ibadanland, joins the entire city of Ibadan, Oyo State, and the Yoruba nation at large in mourning the passing of our revered monarch, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, who joined his ancestors in the early hours of Monday, July 7, 2025.
Oba Olakulehin’s transition, occurring just two days after his 90th birthday and barely a year into his reign, marks a profound loss for Ibadanland. His time on the throne, though brief, was filled with quiet strength, regal dignity, and a deep commitment to preserving the cultural values, unity, and prosperity of our people. He was a father to all, a statesman, and a true custodian of the Ibadan tradition.
Ọmọ Aj'Orosun Club, made up solely of sons of the soil of Ibadanland, extends its heartfelt condolences to:
👉🏾The immediate family of the late Olubadan,
👉🏾Ibadan indigenes and residents both at home and in the diaspora,
👉🏾His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, Executive Governor of Oyo State,
👉🏾And the Olubadan-in-Council, ably led by Ọba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland and a proud member of our noble club.
As tradition guides us through the rites of mourning and succession, we pray for wisdom, unity, and divine guidance in this period of transition. Ọba Olakulehin has left behind a legacy of honour, service, and ancestral pride. May his soul find peaceful rest among the pantheon of our illustrious forebears.
Ibadanland mourns. Ọmọ Aj'Orosun mourns.
