Communication Minister Lauds Oluwo Iwo

The Minister of Communication, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, has described the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi as an incorruptible and selfless personality worthy of emulation in promoting progressive ideologies that the incumbent federal government led by President Muhammed Buhari is known for.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to Oba Akanbi in his palace, Shittu said Oluwo’s leadership style was unprecedented in the history of the town as evident in palace renovation, road construction, and educational promotion among others.

The minister described the downturn in the country as the product of past governance and urged Nigerians to supplicate for their leaders.

He said the roots of the recession that the nation is battling with now were corruption, unconscious deflation of crude oil prize and the monopolization of the nation’s source of income, saying efforts are in top gear to revitalize Nigeria.

“We must thank God there are lot of transformations in the lives of the people of Iwo because of the activities of the new Oluwo of Iwoland. The type of leadership Iwo has now is unprecedented. I believe this is the beginning of many good things to come with the right leadership of Oluwo.

“Oluwo has become the vanguard of development in Yorubaland and he shall continue to evolve. Just like human being, development has series of stages. I have lived in Iwo for more than 30years, turbaned as an Islamic student and a Legal Adviser to the Mogajis of Iwo for donkey years.

“Hopefully, my visitation shall be a beginning of greatness for Iwoland. Just like Iwo has a unique king, I considered myself honoured to be here today not only as a son of Iwoland but a representative and good ambassador of Iwoland”, Shittu said.
