ABEOKUTA — The Ogun State Government has installed Oba Abdul Fatai Olatunji Balogun as the Alaye of Imobiland in Ijebu East Local Government Area of the state, bringing to an end the prolonged process for the emergence of a traditional ruler for the community.
The installation and presentation of the instrument and staff of office climaxed a three-day ceremony attended by traditional rulers, government officials, community leaders, political stakeholders, development groups, unions and associations, as well as indigenes of Imobi from within and outside Nigeria.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Dapo Abiodun urged the new monarch to emulate the legacy of the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, particularly his contributions to the peace, growth and development of Ijebuland during his reign.
