A statement by Oluwo through his Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem, reads;
“I commiserate with the immediate family of the demised Olupo, the Oluponna people and Iwoland in general on the death of the Olupo of Oluponna, HRM Oba Emmanuel Onaolapo Oyebanji, Fadare II.”
“His demise was a personal loss to me. He was cool, brilliant and resourceful. I’ve never heard of him selling his subjects’ land indiscriminately. That is a type of credible monarch we crave for”
“The reign of Oba Oyebanji was characterized with growth and development of Oluponna. One of his credits was the building of Oluponna ultra-modern palace. May his shortcomings be forgiven and his soul rests in peace. Once again, my condolences.” Oluwo concluded.
