The Executive Chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, Hon. Oluwaseun Olufade, has joined numerous well-wishers across the country to congratulate the Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, on his recent installation as the Aare Omoluabi of Akure Kingdom by His Royal Majesty, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, the Deji of Akure.
In a statement released through his head of media, Aderibigbe Yisahu on Friday, Hon. Olufade described the honour as a “remarkable and well-deserved recognition” of Governor Makinde’s enduring legacy of service, leadership excellence, and deep-rooted Omoluabi values.
“Governor Seyi Makinde continues to embody everything the Yoruba nation holds dear, integrity, courage, wisdom, and compassion,” Olufade said.
“This latest chieftaincy title conferred by the revered Deji of Akure is a bold endorsement of his character and a testament to the lives he continues to touch through his people-oriented governance.”
Hon. Olufade, who heads one of the most populous local governments in Oyo State, noted that the Governor’s influence has gone beyond politics and geography, reaching the hearts of traditional institutions and the people across Yoruba land and Nigeria at large.
“His Excellency’s achievements in education, infrastructure, health care, and economic development speak volumes.
But beyond projects, it is the governor’s humility, vision, and human-centered leadership that continue to distinguish him,” he added.
According to the Chairman, the title Aare Omoluabi which translates to “Champion of Honourable Virtue” is more than ceremonial.
It reflects a leadership style rooted in cultural values and moral uprightness.
“This title will not only strengthen his resolve to do more for the people but also solidify his place as a unifying figure in Yoruba land.
I am proud to serve under such a visionary leader,” Hon. Olufade concluded.

Aderibigbe Yisahu Ajibola
