It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that I announce the transition of His Royal Majesty, Oba Ibrahim Ade Momoh, the Obaro of Iyamoye Kingdom. His passing marks the end of a glorious reign defined by peace, wisdom, and selfless service to his people. The entire Ijumu Local Government Area mourns this great loss, which has created a deep void in the traditional and cultural life of our dear local government.
As Executive Chairman of Ijumu Local Government Area, I had the honour of associating with His Royal Majesty during his lifetime. He was a man of great intellect, humility, and foresight who worked tirelessly to ensure that Iyamoye Kingdom remained a symbol of unity and progress. His commitment to the welfare of his people was evident in every aspect of his leadership, and his contributions will forever be remembered.
The late monarch was not only a custodian of tradition but also a unifier and father figure whose influence extended far beyond his kingdom. His wisdom, calm nature, and dedication to peace played a crucial role in strengthening harmony among communities across Ijumu. His reign will be remembered as a period of stability, growth, and understanding among his people.
I extend my deepest condolences to the royal family of Iyamoye Kingdom for the loss of their beloved father and leader. I also sympathize with the entire people of Iyamoye Kingdom, whose hearts are heavy with grief. The late Oba’s legacy of peace, integrity, and purposeful leadership will continue to serve as a guiding light for generations to come.
To the people of Ijumu Local Government Area, I urge us all to remain united in mourning this great traditional ruler. Let us take pride in the exemplary life His Royal Majesty lived and the values he upheld — values of honesty, fairness, and service to humanity. His passing reminds us of the importance of leadership grounded in compassion and wisdom.
I pray that Almighty God grants the soul of His Royal Majesty, Oba Ibrahim Ade Momoh, eternal rest, and gives the royal family, the good people of Iyamoye Kingdom, and the entire Ijumu Local Government Area the strength to bear this painful loss. His legacy will remain evergreen in our hearts as we continue to build upon the peace and progress he championed.
