Here is a rewritten version of the content: The city of Ibadan is set to pay its final respects to a highly esteemed leader today, as the state government organizes a grand state burial ceremony for the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Olalekan Balogun. This ceremony comes after the monarch's passing on March 14 and his initial burial on March 15. The event, which will take place at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, will see dignitaries from various fields gather to honor the late Olubadan's memory. Governor Seyi Makinde, who had earlier promised a befitting burial for the late king, will be in attendance. As the governor earlier said, "We can describe the late monarch in many ways. First, he was one of the few cerebral individuals to become Olubadan of Ibadanland. He was very educated and an intellectual. He took issues intellectually, and for that reason, we know that we have lost a monarch. Secondly, he was a politician of note. He was a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria between 1999 and 2003, and he climbed the ladder to become the Olubadan of Ibadanland. Moving forward, his legacies and memories will chart a course for us, not only in Ibadanland but in the state and Nigeria." Oba Olalekan Balogun, who reigned for two years, was a cerebral and intellectual leader who left an indelible mark on Ibadanland. His legacy and memories will continue to inspire and guide the people of Ibadan and beyond. The ceremony will be a fitting tribute to a monarch who served his people with dedication and wisdom. As Ibadan stands still to bid its beloved Olubadan a final farewell, his impact on the city and its people will be remembered and celebrated.
