The Executive Chairman of Yagba West Local Government Council, Hon. Pius Kolawole has condoled with the immediate family of the late Royal Majesty, Oba Samuel Bayode Olamojin, the council of Chiefs and the good people of Ejiba Kingdom over the demise of Elejiba of Ejiba.
The respected monarch joined his ancestors on Monday.
In a statement signed by his special assistant on media and publicity, Toba Abraham, the council boss said he received the news of the passing away of the late royal father with a heavy heart.
He described the late Elejiba as a colossus, courageous, forthright and honest leader who gave his best in the service to his people and humanity to the admiration of all.
“Late Oba Samuel Bayode Olamojin was a highly intelligent and respected member of Yagba West Traditional Council and Yagba West Security Council whose wisdom and experience is highly appreciated and coveted.
“He was a loving father who does not discriminate, but sees and willing to accept everybody as his own.
“He was no doubt an administrator of great repute who consistently strived for excellence with immense desire to do justice. He was highly cerebral with a huge leadership capacity,” he said.
Kolawole lamented that the monarch passed on at a time his wisdom and fatherly counsels are most needed by the people of Yagba West Local Government and Kogi State in general, adding that he took solace in the fact that the late traditional ruler lived a fulfilled life and left behind good legacies.
