REMEMBRANCE OF A ROYAL ICON; The imperial Majesty, Oba Abubakar Akanbi Adedokun Siyanbola Oladigbolu,The Alaafin of Oyo

On the 19th of December, 1944. Your exit as a first-class monarch, the Alaafin is often accompanied by accolades and commendations from the yoruba-land and beyond. Your leadership style, wisdom, and commitment to the welfare of yorubas are celebrated.

The Alaafin we remembered today, not just as a ruler but as a father figure, a mentor, and a beacon of hope for future generations. You laid the foundation for the almagamation of nigeria in 1914, just two years after your ascension as new lord of the palace by good representation on behalf of oduduwa’s House entirely.

Your journey to the ascension to the throne Àlààfin of Oyo was a profound narrative of heritage, leadership, and cultural pride of yorubas globally. Dear grandpa, your exit as a first-class monarch is marked by a legacy of good governance, cultural preservation, and a deep connection to the people you served, ensuring that your memory endures in the hearts of the oyos, Yoruba people and the entire nation you birthed in 1914 , along with lord luguard and other prominent leaders across the Niger, now known as the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dear Ikubabayeye, your offsprings, in general, appreciate the good foundation you laid for the supreme oyo dynasty. We really appreciate your efforts, dear grandfather.

a renowned publisher, JF odunjo, the writer and a publisher, made your existence known globally as a king that can never be compared to mere kings.

Dear grandfather, nature will keep rewarding you by the right side of the most high God. May your gentle soul continually rest in peace.
