A former Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has expressed profound sadness over the passing of His Royal Majesty, Elerin of Erin Ile, Oba AbdulGaniyu Ajibola Olusokun II, a First Class Monarch in Kwara State.
Olusokun was a monarch for 41 years, dedicated himself to the service of mankind and left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who had the privilege of knowing him, said Lai Mohammed in a statement he signed and made available to reporters in Abuja.
“His reign could best be described as the golden era of Erin Ile.
“Let me express my condolences to the people of Erin Ile, Kwara State and Nigeria over this monumental loss and may we find solace in the enduring legacy of Oba AbdulGaniyu Ajibola Olusokun II,” the former Minister, who served eight years in the last administration, said.
“He lived a fulfilled life of service to God and humanity and may his spirit of compassion and wisdom continue to guide all of us.
“I pray God to grant him eternal rest and also give the people of Erin Ile the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
