President Buhari greets Alaafin of Oyo at 80

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm greetings to His Imperial Majesty, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi 111, Iku Baba Yeye, on his 80th birthday.

Buhari, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, joined the Council of Obas and Chiefs in Oyo State, Traditional Council, family and friends of the Alaafin of Oyo, who is heir to the historic Oyo Empire, in celebrating the landmark age.

As His Imperial Majesty turns an octogenarian, the President believed his 48 years on the throne of his fathers have been most remarkable for the entire dynasty, illustrated by his contributions to the educational, social and cultural development of the people, both those at home and abroad.

He extolled the Alaafin of Oyo’s courage in upholding the values of integrity, hard work and search for knowledge, which has been the hallmark of the great Oyo Empire, commending him for regular counsels to governments, institutions, and families.

The President prayed that the Almighty God will grant the royal father longer life, good health, and more wisdom to sustain the legacies of his fathers.
