Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has hailed the late Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba (Dr) Moshood Lekan Balogun, for bringing peace and stability to the Olubadan Chieftaincy System within the short period of his reign.

Governor Makinde during a condolence visit to the family of the late monarch, said that Oba Balogun played roles that ensured the Ibadan traditional system did not fall apart.

The governor maintained that though Oba Balogun’s death was painful to him, because they shared a relationship that transcended politics, his life should be celebrated for his contributions to the progress of Ibadanland, Oyo State and the traditional institution.

Governor Makinde reiterated that the state government would give Oba Balogun a befitting burial.

According to him, the state government had already approved funds for the Fidau Prayers for the late Oba and would also do the needful at the appropriate time when he is to be given a state burial.
