A popular traditional ruler in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, the Akinla of Erin-Ijesa, Oba (Dr.) Isaac Adeyeba Ayeni, Okin Oloro II has felicitated with the State’s Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke on his “well-deserved” victory at the polls just as he tasked him to give top priority to tourism development as a major factor in lifting the State out of the woods into socioeconomic advancement.
In a signed Congratulatory Message to Senator Ademola 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 socioeconomic 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 that God Almighty shall 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”.
While assuring the Governor-elect of all needed support, the monarch also 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 which he described as patriotic and commendable.
