“I am greatly saddened by the passing away of Olori Kudirat. It is very unfortunate and disheartening.
“We were together with Kabiyesi and the royal retinue at the Chief of Army Staff conference, held in Ibadan last week.
“Her death is indeed a big loss to our father, the Olubadan and the people of Ibadanland.
‘‘May the Almighty grant Kabiyesi, children and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss,’’ the governor said.
He enjoined the people of Oyo State to pray for the repose of the deceased’s gentle soul and may Allah grant her the highest place in Jannah Firdaus.
