Makinde Presents Instrument of Office To New Eleruwa
Oyo State governor Engineer Seyi Makinde has presented the staff and certificate of office to the newly appointed Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola.
The governor made the presentation at the Executive Chamber of the Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.
He noted that he was glad that the lingering issues that prevented the historical town from having a traditional ruler have finally been settled.
The governor explained that his administration would continue to look for ways to advance the cause of development in each domain, stating that the importance of the traditional institution can not be overemphasised.
Governor Makinde clarified that Oba Adegbola was nominated by the kingmakers of Eruwa and that all his government did was to endorse the nomination.
Governor Makinde equally promised to bring about greater developments to the town and also cooperate with the state government and all traditional rulers in Ibarapaland and Oyo State to achieve the vision of securing the state.
In his acceptance speech, the newly crowned Eleruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola, pledged to ensure the reconciliation of Eruwa people and join hands with other traditional rulers for the progress of the state.
The stool of Eleruwa had remained vacant since Ọba Adegbola, who was installed in 1998, was deposed on 29th November 2019 by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
