At Ogbomoso Township Stadium in Ogbomoso on Tuesday, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde gave the new Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Ghandi Olaoye, the Instrument of Office and Staff of Office.
According to a report, on September 2, Makinde gave his approval for Oba Olaoye to be chosen 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.
The monarch, therefore, urged other contestants to join hands with him to move the town forward.
Among the dignitaries at the presentation included the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja III, Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, immediate past Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, former Minister of Information, Lai Muhammed, and a host of other eminent Nigerians.
