Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State on Monday led all members of the State Executive Council on a congratulatory visit to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade I, on his 99th birthday celebrations.
Speaking at the palace of the monarch, the governor felicitated with the Olubadan, whom he described as a highly respected and principled personality.
Ajimobi said that his reign had brought peace not only to Ibadanland but also the entire state.
The governor, whom the monarch conferred with the chieftaincy title of Aare Atunluto of Ibadanland, pledged his administration’s support to the Olubadan-in-Council, while also praying for long life and sound health for the royal father.
Responding, Oba Odulana expressed satisfaction with the urban renewal programme of the Ajimobi administration, saying it had succeeded in changing the face of the state for better.
He said that the Ajimobi administration had recorded enviable achievements, especially in the area of environmental sanitation and beautification of the environment, a feat which he said had distinguished the administration from those before it.
The royal father said that this had accounted for the decision of the Olubadan-In-Council to honour Ajimobi with the chieftaincy title of Aare Atunluto of Ibadanland.
