The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Safety Signatures Limited, Mrs. Cynthia Gregg has commiserated with the family of His Royal Majesty, Oba Bashiru Oloruntoyin Saliu, the Oloworo of Oworo Kingdom over his demise on Monday, 30th August, 2021.
Describing the late Monarch as a “Peace Loving and upright Nigerian,” Mrs. Gregg noted that “Oba Bashiru Oloruntoyin Saliu lived a life worthy of emulation and the younger generation should emulate his style and character portraiture.
“He was a detribalised Nigerian who preached and believed in equity, justice and fairness regardless of your ethnicity or religion”, Gregg eulogized.
The Managing Director who spoke with our reporter recently added: “During his reign, Oba Saliu ran an all-inclusive traditional system of governance in the Oworo kingdom and its environment. He ensured an orderly and secured Oworo Land.
“Through Oba Saliu’s periodic Town Hall meetings/Civic engagements and interractions with the Traditional Chiefs, Residents, Security agencies and other stakeholders in the Oworo kingdom, he was able to restore peace among restive youths and warring groups in the Oworo Land”, Mrs Gregg recalled.
“I could remember at a point when our company, Safety Signature Limited was processing the acquisition of landed property in Oworo to expand our operations, the exercise was seamless; the Monarch never discriminated against me being a Non-Yoruba woman”, Gregg emphasized.
She however prayed for the repose of the soul of Oba Bashiru Oloruntoyin Saliu. “May the Almighty God grant the family, Lagos Traditional Council and the Residents of Oworo Kingdom the fortitude to bear the loss. I also pray to God to forgive his shortcomings on the planet earth”, Mrs Gregg reiterated.
