Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland Iba Gani Adams, on Friday, described the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, as an inspiration to Yoruba traditional institution.
Iba Adams in a statement he signed personally, said the monarch has, since his ascension to the royal stool, contributed more by promoting Yoruba culture and tradition than any Oba in recent times.
He said: “I wish Kabiesi well in his new age. Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is a big inspiration to Yoruba traditional institutions. He is a role model that many of the Yoruba obas look up to.
“Kabiesi has brought a lot of innovations and reforms to the traditional institution and it is a demonstration of his unequal passion for the development of the royal stool.
“As the Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, I rejoice with the good people of Ife,the Osun state government as well as the entire Yoruba race as the Arole Oodua is celebrating this milestone.
“Kabiesi is the pride of our race and we will continue to support his vision for the development and progress of Yoruba race.
“As we celebrate Kabiesi’s golden jubilee, I pray God to grant our revered monarch good health, sound mind and more grace for him to continue to be such a blessing to Yoruba race in general.”
