The Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States, and the Aare of Ibadanland, His Eminence Alhaji (Dr.) Dawud Makanjuola Akinola De-Damak, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the Senior Chief of Ibadanland and renowned journalist, Abese Olubadan, Chief Lekan Alabi, describing his death as a monumental loss to Ibadanland, the media profession, and the Yoruba nation. In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Faysol Oluwakemi, Aare Musulumi said Senior Chief Lekan Alabi was a distinguished statesman, accomplished journalist, respected author, and cultural ambassador who devoted his life to preserving the rich history, tradition, and values of Ibadan and Yorubaland. Through his writings, public service, and unwavering commitment to truth and excellence, he left an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire generations. According to the Aare Musulumi, Ibadan has lost one of its finest voices and most passionate custodians of its heritage. His wisdom, humility, and invaluable contributions to journalism and community development earned him admiration across Nigeria and beyond. He extended his heartfelt condolences to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, the Olubadan-in-Council, the Alabi family, the Nigerian Union of Journalists, the media community, and the entire people of Ibadanland over this irreparable loss. The Aare Musulumi prayed that Almighty Allah (SWT) forgives the shortcomings of the late Senior Chief Lekan Alabi, grants him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and gives his family, friends, and all who mourn him the strength and fortitude to bear this painful loss.
