The Olowa of Igbara-Oke, Oba Adefarakanmi Agbede, described the Governor as the best candidate for the state due to his leadership qualities and respect for traditional institutions.
Speaking during Aiyedatiwa’s consultation visit to his palace in Igbara-Oke, Oba Agbede praised the Governor’s performance in his ten months in office, noting that his achievements indicate a promising future if elected for a full term.
“The people of Igbara-Oke and Ifedore are solidly behind Governor Aiyedatiwa and will vote for him en-masse on November 16.
He has listening ears and has displayed the quality of ‘Omoluabi’ by treating the traditional institution with utmost respect,” Oba Agbede said.
At the palace of Olujare of Ijare, High Chief Wemimo Olaniyan, speaking on behalf of the community’s traditional rulers, commended the Governor’s achievements but urged him to prioritize the completion of the Oke-Odu to Ijare road and other pressing community needs.
