President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences to the family of the late Elemona of Ilemona in the Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Oba Yusuf Omokanye Oyekanmi.
The monarch is the father of the president’s Aide-De-Camp, Colonel Nurudeen Yusuf.
In a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, on Sunday night, Tinubu said Oba Oyekanmi’s passing leaves a huge vacuum in the repository of wisdom, integrity, and courage he embodied.
“Most importantly, President Tinubu celebrates the life of His Royal Majesty, who lived according to his unvarnished principles of devotion to the Almighty, honesty, diligence, and service to humanity.
“The President commiserates with the Royal Family, including his Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Nurudeen Yusuf, urging them to take comfort in the great legacy of the late monarch who lived a full life of accomplishments and impact.
“President Tinubu prays to God Almighty to grant rest to the soul of the departed and comfort to those in mourning,” the statement read.
