He noted that, the late monarch led his people for 41years with commitments, dedication and fear of God adding that, “history will continue to be kind to him, even, at death.”
The Emir, on behalf of the entire members of the Kwara State Council of Chiefs however commiserated with the Elerin-In-Coucil, the people of Erin-Ile kingdom, members of the Oyun Traditional Rulers Council, government and people of Kwara State over the colossal loss.
He also condoled the immediate and extended family members of the deceased, urging them to find solace in the fact that late Oba Olusookun II lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation with landmark achievements for his community.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari therefore prayed Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the late monarch, accept his good deeds and admit him into al-janatul firdaos.
