Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo in Osun State, has praised the state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, for his desire to grant autonomy to the state's local government areas.
This was stated in a statement signed by the monarch, which our correspondent in Osogbo obtained on Monday.
Also applauding Adeleke's decision to open the state's account books to the royal fathers at their monthly meeting, Oba Akanbi said that showed the governor understands how important it is for monarchs to run the state.
The statement read in part, “I don’t know where he got the wisdom of having a meeting with the traditional institution to commence his administration, but I know such must be a divine wisdom from God. He is starting on a good note by recognizing the traditional institution.
“Equally, the governor deserves another commendation for his pledge to grant autonomy to local government administrations in Osun State.
“Doing so will restore confidence in local government and extend the dividends of democracy to the grassroots.”
