Kabiyesi, you have demonstrated capacity, love, and ingenuity in handling matters affecting the development of the State. I thank you for your selfless service and unwavering dedication.”

Reflecting on the achievements of his administration during tenure of the outgoing Council, Governor Aiyedatiwa said: “We made significant progress in addressing long-standing chieftaincy matters through the diligent implementation of the Ondo State White Paper on the Hon.

He also noted the government’s decision to abolish the Grade ‘D’ Obas category, saying, “Before this milestone achievement, our administration had earlier abolished the class of Grade ‘D’ Obas in the State, thereby elevating all Obas in that category to Grade ‘C’ automatically.”

Another major achievement mentioned was the implementation of the 5% statutory allocation of the local government areas for traditional rulers.

According to him, “This landmark decision underscores our belief in the crucial role you play and our commitment to providing the necessary impetus and resources to support your noble responsibilities within your domain.

“With great satisfaction, we witnessed the completion of the Ondo State Council of Obas’ Secretariat, the construction of which started many years ago. This dedicated facility stands as a symbol of our love and respect for this esteemed Council and will undoubtedly provide a more conducive environment for your deliberations and administrative functions.”

The governor reassured the traditional rulers of continued support, promising further initiatives aimed at enhancing their status.

While officially dissolving the 11th Council, Governor Aiyedatiwa approved the formation of the 12th Council and announced its new leadership under the Olowo of Owo.

“On this note, I hereby dissolve the 11th Council of Obas in Ondo State. I also announce my approval of the 12th Council under the Chairmanship of His Imperial Majesty, Kabiyesi, the Olowo of Owo, Oba (Dr) Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye II,” the governor declared.

In his remarks, the Deji of Akure thanked the governor for his support to the traditional institution in the State, saying such support has been unprecedented.

Oba Aladetoyinbo, who said the governor had in the last one year acceded to almost all the requests the Obas put before him, urged him to extend such gesture to the new leadership of the Council of Obas.

In his acceptance speech, the Olowo of Owo thanked the governor for the appointment, promising to build on the productive relationship between the Council and the State government.

Oba Ajibade commended the leadership style of Governor Aiyedatiwa, his model of governance and the many achievements he has recorded since becoming governor.

While offering special prayers for the governor and his administration, Oba Oluwole Adesayo, the Ahaba of Ajagba, commended the governor on his developmental projects, improvements in infrastructure, employment of youths, and the recently approved constituency projects for House of Assembly members.
