Gov. Makinde Presents Staff of Office To New Soun Of Ogbomoso
Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, has given Oba Ghandi Olaoye, the new Soun of Ogbomosoland, the Instrument of Office and Staff of Office on Tuesday at Ogbomoso Township Stadium in Ogbomoso.
The PUNCH claims that on September 2, Makinde authorized the selection of Oba Olaoye from the Olaoye Ruling House. On September 8, the kingmakers in the ancient town, led by the Areago of Ogbomoso, High Chief Sobalaje Otolorin, established Oba Olaoye as the new Soun of Ogbomosoland.
Makinde, while presenting the staff of office to the new Soun, said, “I will now hand over the Instrument of Office and Staff of Office to Oba Ghandi Olaoye, Orumogege III.”
In his acceptance speech, Oba Olaoye said, “My service is premised on a clear vision. I am very aware of the words that the wisest of Kings recorded for us in the book of Proverbs that without a vision, the people perish.
“My vision for a prosperous and peaceful Ogbomosholand rests on a detailed 25-year plan, to be unveiled in the coming months. I promise to serve this vision with all I have, the relationships I have built over the years here in Nigeria and abroad, the experience I have garnered from running several successful businesses, and the skills garnered from more than 30 years of pastoring churches and other pastors. As I have said on several occasions, I have stopped being a church pastor and now become a shepherd of a people”, Oba Olaoye assured.
As a result, the monarch pleaded with the other candidates to work together to advance the town.
At the presentation were a number of distinguished Nigerians, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja III, Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, former Minister of Information, Yemi Osinbajo, and many others.
