I have no doubt that our Kabiyesi will perform beyond the President’s expectations …”

The deceased was the Eyegba of Ado Ekiti, a chieftaincy title bestowed on her by the Ewi of Ado Ekiti at the time of her demise. Olujimi described her death as unfortunate and a great loss to the people of Ekiti State, considering her contributions to the state’s development.

“I pray God to grant the family and the good people of Ekiti State the fortitude to bear this great loss,” she said.
