Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has visited the family of the immediate past Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji.<\/p>\n

The Olubadan had died at the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan in the early hours of Sunday, at the age of 93.<\/p>\n

The monarch has been buried in line with Islamic rites.<\/p>\n

He was buried at his palace<\/p>\n

Our correspondent reports that Obasanjo had been a regular visitor to the palace during the reign of Oba Adetunji.<\/p>\n

The former President who ruled Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, however, on Thursday arrived at the palace of the deceased monarch on a condolence visit.<\/p>\n

Present at the palace to receive the former President were the queen, Olori Rasheedat Adetunji and Chief Nureni Akanbi who doubles as the Gbonka Balogun of Ibadan land.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo arrived at the palace around 7:10am.<\/p>\n

The former President was accompanied by Olayiwola Olakojo, the former secretary to the government of Oyo State.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo, while speaking prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed monarch.<\/p>\n

He promised his readiness to assist the family whenever the need arises.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo said, \u201cKabiesi, sun re. You lived for the service of family, community, state and the nation. You served committedly and God granted you longevity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pray that your soul will be with your creator and the family and community will continue to thrive\u201d.<\/p>\n
