Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, says the appointment of Oba Orimolusi-elect of Ijebu-Igbo, Prince Lawrence Adebajo is a clear indication that the Oba-elect was the people's choice going by the commendations received since his appointment.

Talabi said this in Ijebu-Igbo during a visit to the Oba-elect ahead of his official installation and coronation, stating that the selection of the Monarch was another landmark achievement for the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration, following the pivotal role it played in facilitating the filling of the stool which had been vacant for over 27years.

‘’I must say that your appointment or election has been greeted with several calls and messages of appreciation to the government and this apparently attests to the fact that your selection was indeed a popular one’’, he said.

Talabi prayed that the Oba's reign brings accelerated development and more peace to Ijebu-Igbo and its environs.

On his part, Prince Adebajo said he was full of praises to God for his emergence as the Oba-elect, commending the present administration’s effort for ensuring a seamless selection.

“I was gladdened by the news that the Secretary to the Ogun State Government was from my domain, his appointment has in no small measure brought significant development to Ijebu-North Local Government Area of the State”, he said.
