The Lawmaker representing Alimosho Constituency II, in the ninth (9th) Lagos State House of Assembly, Kehinde Joseph, has commiserated with the people of Isheri-Olofin Kingdom over the demise of their monarch, Oba Abdul-Wahab Ayinde Balogun, whose reign he described as a peaceful one.
In the statement made available to the Journalists in Lagos by his Head of Media and Strategic Communication, Olayiwola Rasheed Jebba Hamilton, described the people of the kingdom as enterprising and fearless people, saying the death of the King is not just a great loss to the kingdom but to the State and country at large.
According to him, “He has led the people well and ensured peace, harmony and progress for his people. He’s no longer with us but he stood for truth, fairness, peace and progress.”
Joseph, however, said that contributions of the late monarch to drama, culture, and community development would not only be missed by the people of Isheri-Olofin Kingdom, but by the State and the country at large.
“Oba Wahab Ayinde Balogun will be fondly missed because he’s a bridge builder who got across ethnic, religious and cultural divide to promote peace and unity, not only in his jurisdictions, but the state at large.
“On behalf of my family and the good people of Alimosho Constituency II, I extended my heartfelt condolences to the entire Balogun Royal families and the people of Isheri-Olofin Kingdom. I pray Almighty God grant the late monarch eternal rest”, the grassroots Lawmaker concludes.
