Ariyibi who described the death of the Chief Imam of Egbaland as a big loss to the entire Muslim community in Egbaland and Ogun state at large.
In a condolence message he described Baba as a foremost Islamic Scholar, who was not only well versed in the Quran and the Hadith, but lived all his life as a good Muslim and worthy leader of the faith.
He added that the death of Sheikh Orunsolu is a big loss to the Muslim Ummah in Egbaland as well as the entire state because he preached peace and unity while alive. His preaching at home and the depth of his Islamic scholarship will be missed.
“I received the news of the death of the Chief Imam of Egbaland, Sheikh Orunsolu, which occurred on early hour of today with shock but submission to the will of Allah.
“He was a man of peace who built bridges and reached out to people of other faiths. Sheikh Imam Liadi Orunsola was a honest man who built a reputation for integrity and high service.
Baba served humanity and the Muslim Ummah well. His passage is a great loss which has left a huge void that will be hard to fill.
While praying for the repose of the soul of the late cleric, Ariyibi urged members of various Muslim societies to continue the good works Sheikh Imam Liadi Orunsolu started, adding, “this is the only way to immortalise this pride of Egbaland in particular and Ogun State as a whole.
“He was no doubt a scholar of higher integrity who touched the lives of many Muslims positively.
“I commiserate with the government and the people of Egbaland, particularly the Muslim Ummah and the family of the Orunsolu, home and abroad. I pray that Allah will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss
