The Executive Director representing Kwara State at the North Central Development Commission (NCDC), Bilqis Jumoke Sanni, has joined other prominent voices in mourning the passing of Oba Jubril Abolaji Maranro, the Alaho of Aho-Igbada in Oyun Local Government Area of the state.
Sanni, in a condolence message made available to newsmen from her media office on Wednesday, described the late monarch as a “fatherly figure” whose leadership left an indelible impact on the lives of his people and the traditional institution in Oyun.
“I received the news of Kabiesi’s passing with a heavy heart. Oba Jubril Abolaji Maranro was more than a traditional ruler; he was a bridge-builder, a lover of peace, and a custodian of culture who led with dignity and deep compassion,” she said.
She urged the people of Aho-Igbada, the traditional council, and the entire Oyun Local Government to take solace in the life well lived by the late royal father.
“May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his return, and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus. I extend my deepest condolences to the Royal Family, the people of Aho-Igbada, and the Oyun Local Government at large,” the NCDC executive stated.
