Obasanjo said the news of the monarch’s passing was received with shock, noting that the late royal father was among the most respected traditional rulers in Lagos State. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo said, “The Akran of Badagry, De Wheno Menu-Toyi had a most eventful life which traversed eight decades and his reign of fifty years over Badagry Kingdom, which occupies a pedestal of looming importance in our ancient and contemporary history, witnessed notable peace and stability.” He added, “Badagry has, since pre-colonial times, remained a robust repertoire of the finest aspects of our cultural and artistic heritage. “The royal father would be remembered as a patriot and custodian of our cultural and traditional values, who gave his best while on the throne of his forefathers. “Within his impactful years on the throne, he brought his salutary influence to foster unity, solidarity, peace, understanding, faith and development in our common heritage among all the sons and daughters of Badagry and the entire Badagry Kingdom, both at home and in the diaspora.” Obasanjo further said, “The late traditional ruler was an apostle of inter-ethnic understanding and cohesion; inter-religious accommodation and tolerance and inter-cultural co-operation.” He noted that the monarch’s death had caused deep grief to the people of Badagry and his family. “For the Governor of Lagos State, the entire good people of Badagry and his family, one can only imagine the traumatic experience and profound grief this sad event has caused them all, but they can all feel assured that their painful loss is shared by countless other Nigerians and certainly by me and my family. “While we urge them to take solace in the knowledge that though we love him, his Creator loves him more and knows what is best for him,” Obasanjo said. The revered monarch, De Wheno Aholu Menu-Toyi I, died after a brief illness. He reigned for over 48 years and was a leading voice within the Lagos State Council of Obas and Chiefs.
