The Emir stated this in his condolence message issued by his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona. He noted that the late monarch was favoured and blessed by Allah with old age which is one of the strong factor and indication of forgiveness of shortcomings by Allah (SWT).
He also confirmed that the late Onijagbo, His Royal Majesty, Oba Salaudeen Fagbemi, was blessed with notable children who are contributing greatly to the economic, social and political development of the nation in their respective chosen careers.
“We have indeed lost a great man of high value and it is certain that history will not forget Oba Fagbemi in a hurry for his long reign on the throne as well as his unprecedented contributions to the community and beyond”, Emir Sulu-Gambari added.
The Emir however commiserated with the immediate and extended family members of the deceased, indigenes of Ijagbo community, the Onijagbo-In-Council, people of Oyun local government area, government and people of Kwara State, urging them to take solace in the fact that the monarch lived a fulfilled life worthy of emulation with empirical references and evidences.
He therefore prayed Allah to forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and admit him into al-janatul firdaos.
