On national matters, the governor expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of Buhari and Oba Adetona, who passed away on the same day.

He praised Buhari as “a courageous, disciplined, respected and passionate leader” who sacrificed much of his life in service to Nigeria.

“His commitment to the growth and development of Nigeria is worthy of emulation because he provided honest and transparent leadership in the country,” Sanwo-Olu said. He extended condolences to Buhari’s family, particularly his wife, Hajia Aisha Buhari, and prayed for the former president’s soul to rest in peace.

Sanwo-Olu also paid tribute to Oba Adetona, describing him as “more than a monarch but a pillar” who led Ijebuland for 65 years with wisdom and grace. “It’s hard to imagine Ijebuland without him. He was a leader whose voice mattered. His presence commanded respect. And above all, his heart was always with his people,” the governor said.

“My thoughts are with Governor Dapo Abiodun, the good people of Ijebuland and Ogun State, and the families of these two remarkable men. Today, we mourn together. May their souls find peace,” Sanwo-Olu added.
