The Osun State Council for Arts and Culture has held a soul moving tribute programme in honor of the late Olori Solape Abolarin, the erstwhile Executive Secretary of the Council and wife of the Orangun of Oke-Ila, Oba Adedokun Omoniyi Abolarin.

Fighting back tears, he praised her quiet strength, unwavering discipline, and graceful leadership, which he said set the tone for the Council’s achievements.

Also speaking at the event, her husband, Oba Adedokun Abolarin, expressed deep sorrow over the loss of his beloved wife, noting that her death left a pain that words could not fully express. He described her as a well-trained, humble, caring wife and mother, adding that she died at a time when her legacy was being written in gold. While pledging his continued support to the Council in all its activities, the Monarch further proposed that a Playlet titled "Abake" be put together in her honour.

Both Mrs. Akinloye Aderonke, Director of Administration and Supplies, and Olori Solape Abolarin’s younger sister Mrs Afolabi Chritiahan in their tribute messages, described her as a peaceful, passionate, and hardworking leader, whose presence inspired those around her.

The memorial event was attended by several dignitaries, including the Alapomu of Apomu, Oba Kayode Afolabi, members of the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), led by Prince Ayo Oladapo.
