Ihano ligweriire Tooro! Amooti was an amazing man, an inspiration to us who saw him crowned and go through life's challenges to become what he became. His passing not only shocked me but also grieved me, too. Even in this, may mighty Tooro keep growing. Omukama Oyo goes to a place where we will all go. He cannot come back to us, but leaves a legacy we cannot let die. Ogende kurungi Amooti!

His Majesty King Oyo Rukidi IV, was a King destined to take Toro to the Opus (Horizon) where he hasn't reached. His death leaves behind so many WHY's yet the Throne should be sustained based on Law, Custom and Church.

With profound sadness, the Alganyira Family - Joab and Sheila, convey our deepest condolences to the Babiito Royal Clan, the Tooro Kingdom leadership, and all the Batooro upon the untimely passing of His Majesty Omukama Oyo. His Majesty's 31-year reign, beginning at just three years old in 1995, was a remarkable journey of grace, culture, and dedication to youth, education and unity. His legacy as _Entale ya Tooro_ - The Lion of Tooro - will live on forever. This is indeed an immeasurable loss to the Kingdom and to Uganda as a whole. We pray that the Almighty God comforts Queen Mother Best Kemigisa, the Royal Family, and the entire Kingdom during this difficult time. May His Majesty's soul rest in eternal peace.

It's with a heavy heart that I am writing to extend my sincere condolences to the great people of Tooro Kingdom. Life and its alienation of the only constant we all face, death. The great King has ascended rather earlier than any of us ... God is closer to the Broken hearted...

I was shocked and saddened to hear about this. He was young when he came to the throne and he was young when he died. Best wishes to his successor.

On behalf of CodeZone Uganda, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, the Government, and the people of the Kingdom of Tooro on the passing of His Royal Highness King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV. Omukama Oyo’s leadership was uniquely defined by his remarkable journey as one of the world's youngest monarchs. To see such a promising life cut short at the young age of 34 is a profound tragedy. Throughout his reign, he carried his royal duties with immense dignity and dedicated himself to youth empowerment, education, and modern innovation, leaving an indelible mark on Tooro and Uganda at large. We join the nation and the people of Tooro in mourning this monumental loss, honoring his legacy, and offering our thoughts and prayers for strength during this period of grief. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏾 Omukama Atulize. Enkuba Etutire.
