President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family of Oba Folagbade Olateru-Olagbegi, the Olowo of Owo and the people of Owo in Ondo state on the death of the highly revered traditional ruler.
The president also commiserated with the government and people of Ondo state on the demise of Oba Olateru-Olagbegi, SAN, former Chairman of the Ondo State Council of Obas.
He said the late royal father was an accomplished legal luminary and tutor who played an exemplary role in the training and development of lawyers in the country during his days as a teacher in Nigeria Law School.
The president said he believes that the departed monarch would be remembered and honoured for his numerous social, economic, educational, peacebuilding and community development initiatives which greatly endeared him to people in his domain and other admirers across the country.
As the people of Owo and Ondo state prepare for the burial rites of the Olowo, the president assured that his thoughts and prayers are with them during the mourning period.
He prayed that the almighty God would receive the soul of Oba Olateru-Olagbegi and grant his people a worthy successor.
