The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has commended the late Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi III for modernizing Oyo, while keeping the cultural sacredness of the throne unadulterated.
Recall that Naija News reported that the Alaafin had died on Friday evening at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti during the course of a routine medical check-up and had since been buried.
Reacting to the incident, the Ooni spoke on his relationship with the late monarch through a statement by Moses Olafare, his Director of Media and Publicity on Saturday.
He stated that he had a great relationship with the Alaafin, explaining further that the last time he met up with him the Oyo monarch promised to make his first visit to the Ooni before the middle of this year. 
According to him: “The late Alaafin gave his best in resolving major conflicts in Yoruba land and uniting all sons and daughters of Oduduwa globally, among other landmark achievements.
“The late Alaafin is one of the privileged elders who contributed to the growth of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and also saw the country through military and democratic eras with unquantifiable positive inputs.”
