The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has congratulated Prince Kayode Afolabi on his selection, confirmation and installation as the new Alapomu of Apomu Kingdom of Osun State.
A statement on Wednesday by Ooni’s spokesman, Moses Olafare, said the revered monarch commended the choice of Prince Afolabi as a “round peg in a round hole considering the quality of his personality as a very educated and well-exposed Media and Public Relation practitioner with a network of friends and associates across Nigeria both in the private and public sectors.”
The statement added: “The co-chairman of the National Council of the Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) describes the new Alapomu designate as a cool-headed virtuous man greatly endowed with all what it takes to be a royal father in the House of Oduduwa.”
Oba Afolabi joins the likes of the Apetumodu of Ipetumodu and the Alara of Ara whose appointments were recently ratified by Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
