The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Moshood Adeoti, said the governor was unavoidably absent because he was invited to Lagos for a very urgent meeting.
The governor eulogised the late monarch for his contributions toward the promotion of Yoruba culture.
He said the late monarch sent a text message to him before he travelled abroad for medical attention and committed him and the state government into the continuous guidance of God.
Also present at the ceremony were Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Ondo governor Olusegun Mimiko, and the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the August 9, 2014 governorship election, Senator Iyiola Omisore, who is also an indigene of Ife.
