“Ooni Ogunwusi has continued to earn more accolades and has remained unperturbed in the face of provocation,” the Owu Kuta monarch stated. “Like the Deity that he’s, Ooni has continued to grow in leaps and bounds and continued to be father of all. He has also taken it as responsibility to chart a new course for the youth of the country.”
Continuing , Olowu said, “I salute the courage of Ooni Ogunwusi with the candour that he’s navigation the throne of his forebears. He has been a truly rally point for the traditional institutions in Yorubaland in particular and the country as a whole.
“Your noble role in the just concluded traditional rulers’ meeting in Lagos where you canvassed for more role for the Kabieyesis, the Obis, Offalas, Emirs and Etsu Nupes are well documented for posterity. You are always known to be in the forefront on how to uplift the traditional institutions to where it truly belongs as the rallying point of culture and tradition.
“Olofin Adumila, on this occasion of your 51st birthday anniversary, on behalf of my Oloris, Olowu -in-council and good people of Kuta, I wish you good health, long life and prosperity,” Olowu stated.
