President Bola Tinubu has rejoiced with Ooni of Ife and Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN), Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on the occasion of his 49th birthday.
The President, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale,
expressed gratitude to His Imperial Majesty for his unflinching support to the administration and remarkable efforts in rallying Royal Fathers from across the nation.
As the revered custodian of Yoruba heritage, history, and traditions, President Tinubu acknowledged the invaluable role of Oba Ojaja II in preserving and passing down the cultural and spiritual practices of the Yoruba people.
”Kabiyesi, since ascending the throne of your ancestors, your leadership has been instrumental in conflict prevention and resolution; community development, as well as representing the interests and concerns of Nigerians, both at home and abroad.
”I look forward to the continued partnership with our esteemed Royal Fathers to propel our nation forward.
”May God bless the Imperial Majesty with long life and good health, and may his reign be a source of unity and prosperity,” the President said.
