The 15th Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has congratulated the newly installed Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, Ajimoko III, saying the monarch has the capacity to transform the entire Ijesaland.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, Iba Adams rejoiced with the governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, and the good people of Ijesaland on the ascension of the new monarch, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, Ajimoko III.
He prayed God and the ancestors of Yorubaland to protect and preserve the monarch, bless him with long life, good health and signpost his reign with phenomenal success, peace, prosperity and joy for Ijesaland, all Ijesas, at home and abroad, and indeed for Yorubaland.
He urged Oba Haastrup to use his networks, both home and abroad, to attract development, investment, and prosperity to Ijesaland.
Equally important, the Aare Onakakanfo urged the new Owa to extend a hand of fellowship to all aggrieved contestants and speedily unite everyone for the general good of Ijesaland.
“Now that the contest is over,” the Aare Onakakanfo said, “I implore Your Majesty to extend the olive branch to all aggrieved contestants, cement all cracks, and bring everybody together for the arduous task of continuing the trajectory of progress that hallmarked the tenure of your predecessor, His Imperial Majesty, the late Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II.
“You have the capacity to transform Ijesaland and I am confident that you will bring to bear your wealth of experience as an astute administrator,a highly successful businessman and your extensive connections and powerful networks across the world to continue the development of Ijesaland for the good of all its citizens and non-citizens as well.
“Kabiyesi, Ijesaland is too important and too strategic to the progress and overall good of Yorubaland to be left in the limbo.
“Therefore, as your majesty settles down on the throne,we urge you to show love to your subjects, and work closely with fellow Obas, not only in the Osun State Council of Obas where you are the Deputy Chairman, but also across Yorubaland.
“As the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, I promise to do all within my
power to support your majesty to ensure your success on the throne, as we work together for the unity, peace and advancement of Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole,” he stated.
