Oyebamiji described the death of the revered monarch as a collosal loss to all and sundry.
"I received the news of the death of our revered Kabiyesi and elder statesman, Late Owa of Igbajo, Oba Philip Adegboyega Famodun with a rude shock. Kabiyesi was an epitome of royalty, discipline, character, integrity dignity and religiosity who served his Creator and humanity with topmost sincerity and piousness.
"As a thoroughbred professional, politician and custodian of Yoruba culture, tradition and heritage, his monumental achievements can not be quantified. It is on record that his reign witnessed astronomical progresses and impacted greatly in the lives of his subjects in particular and humanity in general as his legacies continue to live on.
