The Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria (MUSWEN) has mourned the deaths of two prominent figures in Ekiti State: the Alarà of Aramoko-Ekiti, Oba Abdul Azeez Olu Adeyemi, and a notable politician, Remi Badmus.
In a statement signed by its President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, and Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Prof Muslih Tayo Yahya, MUSWEN said: “The contributions of the two to the Muslim Ummah, their communities and the broader society will remain etched in our hearts.”
The umbrella body noted that the late Alarà of Aramoko-Ekiti was a former President of the Ekiti State Council for Islamic Affairs, while Remi Badmus was a former Deputy President of the same council, through which they “served Allah and the Ummah most admirably.”
MUSWEN described the monarch as “a pillar of wisdom, peace, and unity in Aramoko and the entire Ekiti State,” whose reign was “marked by selfless service and an unwavering commitment to the progress of his community.”
It added that Badmus was “a distinguished retired secondary school principal and a devoted advocate for the welfare of his constituents as a politician,” and “a beacon of integrity, compassion, and dedication, whose life exemplified service to humanity.”
“In this moment of profound loss, MUSWEN extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of the late Alarà of Aramoko and Remi Badmus, the people of Aramoko, the Muslim Ummah of Ekiti State and all those touched by their remarkable lives,” the statement added.
“We pray that Almighty Allah forgives their shortcomings, grants them Al-Jannah Firdaus, and provides their loved ones with the fortitude to bear these irreparable losses.”
