THE Akinla of Erin-Ijesa, Oba (Dr.) Isaac Adeyeba Ayeni, Okin Oloro II, in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, has felicitated with the state’s governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke on his ‘well-deserved’ victory at the just-concluded governorship poll.
The revered monarch, however, tasked Senator Adeleke to give top priority to tourism development as a major factor in lifting the state out of the woods in its quest for socioeconomic advancement.
In a signed congratulatory message to Senator Adeleke, the monarch noted with delight that “with political will, the governor-elect will be our ‘Donald Duke’ of Osun State whom God will use to bring the much-needed socio-economic advancement by tapping into the potentialities of our God-given tourism endowments like the Erin-Ijesa Waterfalls, which previous governments have left to rot away.”
“With God and your political will, Erin-Ijesa Waterfalls can be turned to an international tourism resort of prominence comparable only to Mississippi, Hollywood, Dubai, Jerusalem, Mecca, etc.”, the Akinla of Erin-Ijesa further stated.
The monarch prayed God Almighty to make the tenure of the governor-elect “divinely peaceful, prosperous and beneficial to the entire citizenry of Osun State in particular, and Nigeria as a whole.”
He assured the governor-elect of all needed support.
Meanwhile, the Okin Oloro II, has rejoiced with the Timi of Edeland, His Majesty, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal and the entire Adeleke dynasty for their patriotic efforts at mobilizing home support-base for the governor-elect, an effort he described as patriotic and commendable.
