The Ireshi of Osi Kingdom in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, Oba David Olajide, has congratulated the newly installed Osolo of Isolo, Akure South Local Government, Oba Edward Kolawole Adejoyegbe Adewole, Osalade II.
The Osi king, who is better described as an international, jet personality by his pace of performances benefiting his own people home and beyond, had attended the Thursday December 15, 2022 ceremony of the presentation of Instrument of Appointment and Staff of Office to Oba Adewole among several traditional rulers.
It will be recalled that Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN) had installed Oba Edward Adewole the Osolo of Isolo Kingdom, represented by Hon Dele Ologun, who was accompanied by top government functionaries to the historical royalty event that was also actively attended by the Chairman, Akure South Local Government Area, Hon Gbenga Olaniyi.
In a post on his verified Facebook timeline dated December 15, Oba Olajide, addressing the Osolo apparently acknowledging his travails leading to his long journey to the throne, said, “Do not let the behaviour of others destroy your peace,” he admonished.
Illustrated with a coronation photograph of the Osolo, Oba David Olajide’s post showed him saying, “Congratulations Kabiyesi…!! HRM Oba Edward Kolawole Adejoyegbe Adewole, the Osolo of Isolo, Akure South.”
