Aiyedatiwa Seek Blessings from Elders in Ondo
Akeredolu’s Successors, Aiyedatiwa, has promised to continue with all Akeredolu’s ongoing developmental projects and programmes and also give him a befitting burial.
He spoke when he paid a visit to the Ondo elders at the residence of leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
The Ondo governor, who lauded contributions of the elders to the development of the state and the country at large, said the visit was to pay homage to the elders and to thank them for the fatherly role they played to restoring peace during the political crisis in the State.
He said: “I extend my heartfelt greetings to Chief Reuben Fasoranti and the distinguished elders present. Your wisdom and guidance have been invaluable to our State’s stability. In the past, during challenging times, your intervention, particularly the letter you wrote to President Bola Tinubu advocating constitutional adherence, restored peace to our state. Your counsel has been instrumental.
Similarly, Oluabo of Ilu Abo, Oba Olu Falae, urged Aiyedatiwa to join his colleagues in the southwest to implement policies that would protect and preserve the Yoruba language.
Falae lauded the establishment of the Amotekun security outfit aimed at securing lives and property within the region and appealed to Governor Aiyedatiwa to consider some new road projects in the state, especially in rural areas.
A former scribe of Afenifere, Bashorun Seinde Arogbofa pledged support of the elders’ commitment to the welfare of the people of the state.
Arogbofa enjoined Aiyedatiwa to leave a lasting mark on the State and urged him to take charge of the state but never to forget those who stood by him during challenging times.
However, Chief Fasoranti offered prayers for Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership.
