Reactions have continued to trail the death of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi who joined his ancestors on Friday.

Reacting on the demise, an Oyo born and Ibadan based Legal Practitioner, Mr Kunle Abimbola described Late Oba Adeyemi as an orator, an Ambassador of Yoruba language who had contributed immensely to the development of Yoruba culture and values
Also reacting, an Ogun state based cleric who hails from a ruling house in Oyo town, Prince Adegbite Teller, said the late Alaafin was the first educated monarch in Oyo.
Prince Teller said the reign of Alaafin had not only facilitated the development of Oyo town but enabled title holders and neighbouring villages in oyo to know their legitimate rights and privileges.

Speaking on the next line of action, the Director of Media to the Alaafin Palace, Mr Bode Durojaiye said the children of the late Monarch were being awaited for further actions.
