Public officials attending the monarch's funeral are: Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, and his Ondo State counterpart, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko. They were present at the interdenominational service held at Enuwa Square in front of the Ooni's palace. The event was also attended by several traditional rulers and chiefs. In his sermon, the Bishop of Ife Diocese of Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. Oluranti Odubogun, said despite his wealth, the revered monarch died at "the appointed time". The bishop, who was represented by Very Rev. Olusola Akanbi, said Oba Sijuwade brought fame and popularity to his domain. He said the monarch's demise demonstrated that every man will die irrespective of their status. Osinbajo in his speech said the Ooni lived an exemplary life.
