One Year After Oba Adetona: Omooba Onabanjo’s Reflective Tribute

Today marks the first anniversary of the passing of His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Kayode Adetona, GCON, the revered Awujale of Ijebuland. Omooba Abimbola Onabanjo recalls a monarch whose vision and service raised the prestige of our people. In “One Year On, Yet His Legacy Continues to Speak,” he reflects on lessons of wisdom, integrity, and selfless leadership that defined Oba Adetona’s 91 years. He reminds us that true royalty is earned through dedication and an unwavering commitment to community. May Kabiyesi’s memory continue to inspire and guide all who serve Ijebuland with honour. Though a year has passed, his legacy lives on in the values he instilled.
