Today, we remember with heavy hearts the late Fon of Esu, a man of vision, courage, and remarkable character whose life was tragically cut short on his journey home after the coronation of the Fon of Weh.
His passing was not only a loss to Esu but to the entire Menchum Division. In him, many saw a leader chosen for a special purpose—a man destined to help shape a brighter future for his people. Together with the Fon of Weh, he represented a rare generation of traditional rulers whose integrity, wisdom, and commitment to development inspired hope across our land.
Many believed that these two great leaders would forge an alliance so strong that Esu and Weh would become shining examples of progress, unity, and prosperity in Menchum—our own “London cities” of the division. They were men of valor, men who understood that true leadership is service, sacrifice, and vision.
Though wicked hands may have succeeded in taking away the Fon of Esu, they could not destroy the dream he carried, nor can they erase the legacy he left behind. His memory remains alive in the hearts of his people and in the aspirations of all who long for peace, unity, and development.
Today, the Fon of Weh continues to carry that torch. Despite intimidation and attempts by some to undermine his authority, he remains committed to keeping the light of leadership, hope, and progress burning in our villages. And one truth remains clear: the people of Weh stand firmly behind their son, their King. They know his worth, they understand his vision, and they will not sit silently while forces of division seek to weaken the institution that unites them.
May the soul of the late Fon of Esu rest in perfect peace. May his sacrifice never be forgotten. And may God continue to strengthen the Fon of Weh and all leaders who choose the difficult path of service, honor, and truth.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
