President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the people of Ibadan and the government over the death of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Samuel Odulana.
The President who spoke through his special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina described the late traditional ruler as a patriot, promoter of peace and unity.
He also extended heartfelt condolences to the family of the late monarch, noting that the passage of Oba Odulana is a great loss not only to the people of Ibadan, but also the entire country as he will be greatly missed by all.

He enjoined all those who mourn the late Oba Odulana to take solace in the fact that he lived well and left behind remarkable imprints for his successor and admirers to emulate.
