Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has congratulated the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, as he turned 89, praying God to renew his strength and continue to grant him peaceful reign.
Ajimobi, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Mr Yomi Layinka, yesterday, also congratulated the entire people of Ibadanland on the momentous occasion.
“It is by divine arrangement and not sheer coincidence that Olubadan’s birthday is coming at a period Ibadanland is witnessing a major transformation and boost in royalty, which is aimed at enhancing the status of the ancient city,” he said.
He prayed that the Almighty imbue the monarch with greater wisdom and knowledge for the benefit of
the people of Ibadanland, as he nears the nonagenarian status.
