The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba (Dr.) Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has urged Edo indigenes residing in Ibadanland to continue to be law-abiding.
The charge was given during a courtesy visit paid to the Olubadan of Ibadanland at his palace located at Oke Aremo, Ibadan, on Monday.
Representing the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Senior Chief Raifu Amusa Eleruwere, the Ekefa Balogun of Ibadanland, appreciated the Edo people for paying the courtesy visit. He noted that many non-indigenes in Ibadan have yet to visit His Imperial Majesty, adding that Edo indigenes in Ibadanland should continue with their normal businesses without fear.
Earlier, in his speech, the leader of Edo indigenes living in Ibadanland, Chief Joseph Saliu, congratulated the Olubadan on ascending the throne of his fathers hale and hearty.
According to Chief Joseph Saliu, the delegates of Edo people have stayed in Ibadan for over 40 years, where they have produced business leaders and professionals such as lawyers, doctors, engineers, and business tycoons, among others.
He commended His Imperial Majesty and the Advisory Council for allowing peaceful coexistence to reign supreme in the ancient city.
Present at the courtesy visit ceremony were Chief Ademola Odunade, the Asiwaju Olubadan of Ibadanland; Aremo (Barr.) Sunmbo Owolabi Olakulehin; Mr. Kolawole Balogun, among others.
