It is with sadness and great grief that I received the news of the passing of the Olososo of Ososo, Oba Anselm Adeloro Obaitan, Ichama II, JP, a committed bridge builder and royalty par excellence.
His royal highness was a distinguished traditional ruler who dedicated his 32 year-reign to building a united community and advancing causes to better the lives of his people, contributing immensely to the growth and development of the state.
A committed family man and loving royal father, Oba Anselm Obaitan lived a life of service to humanity and the upliftment of others, endearing him to his subjects and everyone that came in contact with him. He will be sorely missed for his wise royal counsel, fatherly guidance and advice.
On behalf of the government and good people of Edo State, I commiserate with the Commissioner of Arts and Culture, Prince Bamidele Obaitan, the entire Obaitan family, the people of Ososo as well as friends and associates of the late monarch and pray that God grants all the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
