The Owa Obokun Adimula and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, Ajimoko III, has congratulated the new Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, on his ascension to the throne as the 46th Alaafin.
In a goodwill message titled “In togetherness we are one,” Oba Haastrup hailed the new monarch’s historic rise to the revered royal position and wished him a long, peaceful reign.
The Ijesaland monarch noted he was unable to attend the coronation due to his ongoing mandatory 90-day seclusion (Ipebi).
