“He saw it all from the colonial to the post-colonial days and had enough hind-sight to give appropriate and directional advice for the way forward.
Ilouno, who is also the traditional ruler of Ifitedunu Kingdom, noted that the late centenarian was a rallying figure among his colleagues.
“Another striking achievement of the Olubadan was his relentless push for the current recognition of the rights and privileges of the traditional institution in the country.
