Tinubu, Oyebanji, Ooni hail Ewi’s contributions to community development

President Bola Tinubu has eulogised the Ewi of Ado- Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe on his 80th birthday and 35th coronation anniversary, describing him as a global figure who has earned respect and reference beyond the shores of the country.

President Tinubu spoke just as Ekiti State governor, Biodun Oyebanji and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, praised the monarch at a well-attended service held at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel, Ado Ekiti, on Sunday.

Extolling the virtues of the monarch, President Tinubu, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, said Ewi’s reign has continued to bring honour, stability and cultural prestige to Ado-Ekiti and Ekiti State at large.

Noting that the monarch’s leadership style has become a point of admiration across the world, the President said the Ewi has, over the years, demonstrated integrity, wisdom and unmatched commitment to peaceful coexistence.
