Olubadan was a Patriot, Strategic thinker - Atiku

Former Vice President of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar  has expressed sadness over the death of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Mahood Lekan Balogun.

Atiku, in a press statement by his media office on Friday, described the late Oba Lekan Balogun as a long-standing friend and a great patriot.

He said further that the late monarch was a socialist as a politician, and even when he ascended the throne, Oba Lekan Balogun did not betray his beliefs in putting the interests of the people first.

“The deceased Olubadan will be sorely missed for his wisdom and strategic thinking,” Atiku said.

According to the statement, Atiku shares in the mourning of the late king and declared his solidarity with the people of Ibadan at this difficult time.

He also prays for the Ali-Iwo family of the late Olubadan to find the fortitude to bear the loss of a patriarch, and for the Almighty Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the late king and accept his soul.
