In a statement released to journalists by his media aide, Kehinde Aderemi, on behalf of the Aare and the entire council, it was declared:
“Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, the generalissimo of Yorubaland, and all the members of the Aare in council do rejoice and felicitate one of our own, Hon.

The statement further praised Hon. Ige as a brave politician with a “Midas touch” who has remained consistently relevant and influential in politics for decades. His popularity, it noted, extends far beyond Oyo State and resonates across Yorubaland.
Acknowledging his commitment to public service, the statement added:
“He has been consistent with his calling and purpose in life—to be a great political team player and offer meaningful shade or protective cover to all those in need.
