Immediate Past Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Apesin Isiwo Ijebu, Sarafa Tunji Isola Mourns Late Awujale

A Statesman Monarch Ascends: The Iroko Has Fallen in Ijebuland

Today, Sunday, 13th July 2025, the earth stood still in Ijebu, and the heavens welcomed one of its finest creations. It is with a heavy heart and unspeakable grief that I join the entire Ijebuland, Ogun State, and Nigeria at large in mourning the passing of His Royal Majesty, Oba Dr. Sikiru Kayode Adetona, GCON, Ogbagba II, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland.

The news of Kabiyesi’s departure strikes me deeply—not just as a close person, but as a humble admirer of his intellectual royalty, his royal courage, and his unwavering commitment to truth and good governance. Awujale was not merely a traditional ruler; he was a statesman in the crown, a king who towered beyond ceremonial authority and who gave Ijebuland—and indeed Nigeria—a moral compass rooted in cultural pride, progressive ideals, and fearless candour.

Throughout his illustrious reign, Oba Adetona brought global attention to the depth and dignity of Ijebu culture. His reign was a shining example of how tradition and modernity can harmoniously coexist. As the Apesin of Isiwo, I mourn him not only as a royal father but as a lighthouse whose moral clarity guided generations of public servants, including myself.

In a world where many wear the crown, Awujale stood out. He challenged tyranny, defended justice, and preserved the soul of our people through wisdom and unwavering integrity. His influence extended beyond palace walls into classrooms, courts, national discourse, and diplomatic tables.

This is more than the end of a reign. It is the closing of a monumental chapter in the book of Nigerian history. And while we mourn, we also rise in tribute—grateful for the decades he gave to truth, justice, and Ijebu identity.

May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, reward his noble deeds, and admit him into the highest ranks of Al-Jannah Firdaus. And may his legacy forever shine like the royal diadem he wore with honour.

Signed:
Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola, OFR
Apesin Isiwo, Ijebu
Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom (2021–2023)
