In a condolence message jointly signed by MUSWEN President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, and Executive Secretary/CEO, Professor Muslih Tayo Yahya, the body mourned the monarch’s demise and paid tribute to his legacy.
“The death of Oba Olakulehin is a profound loss to the Muslim community, the traditional institution, Yorubaland, and the entire nation,” the statement read.

“As a revered monarch, he exemplified wisdom, humility, and dedication to the service of his people.His leadership fostered harmony and strengthened collaboration between traditional and governmental institutions,”MUSWEN stated.
The organization extended heartfelt condolences to the Olubadan-in-Council, the royal family, the Oyo State Council of Traditional Rulers, the government and people of Oyo State, and all sons and daughters of Ibadanland.
