President Bola Tinubu has expressed sadness over the passing of Oloye Lekan Alabi, a veteran journalist and public relations icon, on Saturday in Lagos at the age of 76.
Oloye Alabi was a prominent figure within Nigeria’s traditional institution, holding the esteemed title of Abese Olubadan of Ibadanland, one of the high chiefs in the ancient city.
President Tinubu remarked: “Oloye Alabi was a consummate journalist and public relations expert who had a distinguished public service career. He had the rare privilege of serving four former governors of Oyo State with distinction as Press Secretary.
“Besides being a veteran journalist and renowned public relations practitioner, he was also a cultural icon. His appearance, conduct and character spoke volumes about his passion for culture and tradition.
