PRESS RELEASE

It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of His Royal Highness, Oba Idowu Adeleke Basibo, the Alaperu of Iperu-Akesan-Land, who transitioned to join his ancestors on the 6th of February, 2025. The news of his departure has left a deep void in the hearts of the Basibo family, the Iperu-Akesan-Land in Council, the Ruling Houses, and the entire community of Iperu-Akesan-Land.

Oba Basibo was not just a monarch; he was a beacon of hope, a unifying force, and a tireless advocate for the progress and development of Iperu-Akesan-Land. His reign was marked by unwavering dedication to the welfare of his people, both at home and in the diaspora. Kabiyesi’s life was a testament to the virtues of integrity, compassion, and selfless service, leaving an indelible mark on the sands of time.

Though his passing is a stark reminder of the transient nature of our existence, we take solace in the enduring legacy he leaves behind. Oba Basibo’s leadership was characterized by wisdom, grace, and an unyielding commitment to the advancement of his kingdom. His efforts to foster unity, promote education, and uplift the less privileged will forever be remembered and cherished.

As we mourn the loss of our beloved Royal Father, we also celebrate the gift of his life—a life well-lived in service to humanity and the Fatherland. We give thanks to the Almighty for the privilege of sharing in his journey and for the countless lives he touched with his kindness and vision.

In this moment of grief, we extend our deepest condolences to the Basibo family, the Iperu-Akesan-Land in Council, the Ruling Houses, and all sons and daughters of Iperu-Akesan-Land. May the soul of Oba Idowu Adeleke Basibo find eternal rest in the bosom of the Almighty, free from all earthly troubles. May his legacy continue to inspire generations to come.

To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Rest in peace, Kabiyesi. Amen.

Signed:

Sir Dr. Kesington Adebukunola Adebutu, CFR, KJW, FISM, FGPS, FNIJ, FAmedS.*
