The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Engr. Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Alhaji Isiaka Yusuf Okunrin Jeje, the 12th Balogun Ajikobi of Ilorin Emirate.
In a condolence message issued on Sunday through his Chief Press Secretary, Sheu Abdulkadir Yusuf, Danladi-Salihu described the late Balogun as a highly respected leader whose wisdom and invaluable contributions to the Ilorin Emirate would be greatly missed.
“His passing has left a significant vacuum in the Ilorin Emirate. On behalf of the Kwara State House of Assembly, I extend my deepest condolences to the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the Ajikobi family, and the entire Ilorin Emirate. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljanat Firdaus,” the Speaker said.
Danladi-Salihu also commiserated with the Ilorin Emirate Traditional Council and the people of Kwara State, acknowledging the late Balogun’s vital role as a custodian of tradition and a key unifying figure in the community.
Appointed in 2019 by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Okunrin Jeje was dedicated to preserving the emirate’s rich cultural heritage. His passing marks the end of an era, leaving behind a lasting legacy of service and leadership that will be remembered for generations.
