He lauded the Orimolusi’s commitment to inclusive development, describing him as a beacon of hope for all sons and daughters of Ijebu-Igbo.

“The tranquillity and transformation being experienced across the land speak eloquently of your divine calling and selfless royal stewardship,” Daniel wrote, adding that the king’s courage, fairness and devotion continue to rekindle the noble heritage of his forebears.
