“I cherish Yoruba’s rich tradition and traditional rulership heritage. I will do all within my powers to promote and develop our traditional institutions.”
“It was in pursuit of that goal that I reaffirm the law that Oluwo of Iwoland is and remains the President of Iwo Council of Traditional Rulers.
