The Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District of Ogun State, Prince Buruji Kashamu has condoled with the Remo Traditional Council, the good people of Remoland and Ogun East in general over the passage to glory of the Akarigbo and paramount ruler of Remoland, Oba Michael Adeniyi Sonariwo.

He spoke following yesterday's (Wednesday) formal announcement by the Remo Traditional Council that the monarch has joined his ancestors.

In a statement he issued today (Thursday), Senator Kashamu described Oba Sonariwo as "a first-class monarch, an accomplished accountant, an astute administrator, a loving family man, a doting father and a complete gentleman who will be sorely missed."

He said given all that Oba Sonariwo achieved during his lifetime, he should be celebrated instead of being mourned.

Kashamu, however, described the monarch's passage as a great loss to Remoland, Ogun East Senatorial District, the state and the Yoruba nation, in general. Oba Sonariwo joined his ancestors on July 23, 2016 in a United Kingdom hospital at the age of 80.
