Fasholan, Soyinka, Sunny Visit Alaafin Over Fire Incident


. 

Fashola, in a letter personally signed and presented to Alaafin, described the palace “as the home of important relics and artefacts of Yoruba history and culture lamenting the distressing experience the damage to the palace has been. 

While expressing sadness over the incident, Fashola expressed happiness that no life was lost, adding that out of the ashes of the palace, an even more magnificent monument to the people of Oyo and Yoruba people in general will emerge. 

Soyinka, after he was conducted round the debris assured Alaafin that every effort would be made in collaboration with the Centre for Black Studies in Osogbo, the State of Osun to rebuild the burnt part of the palace, stressing that such an historical monument should not be allowed to waste away through fire incident or other form of disasters.

KSA requested from Oba Adeyemi to be linked with the committee in charge of rebuilding the palace in order to liaze with it on the project as he asked the monarch to take heart and prayed that God would console him. 

The musician, who was accompanied on the visit by Lekan Alabi and others acknowledged that he was late in coming to sympathize with Oba Adeyemi and attributed it to the foreign trip from which he just returned.

In his response, Oba Adeyemi thanked everybody for identifying with him in this trying moment, stating that “Oyo palace is like State House to all Yoruba showing building technology and architectural design in Yorubaland

“The major reason why the fire incident was massive is that all the buildings in the palace are under one roof throughout, no one is separated from one another”, Oba Adeyemi Stated.
