Aare Ona Kakanfo: Iwo, Ede, Ejigbo Obas Set Agenda for Gani Adams
By: HighCelebritySquard
The Olu Iwo of Iwo, Oba Rasheed
Adewale Akanbi, his Ede and Ejigbo counterparts, Alahaji Dr Munirudeen Adesola
Lawal and Oba Olayiwola Oyesosin, at the weekend mentioned their expectations
of the recently proclaimed Aare Ona kakanfo of Yoruba land, Dr Gani Adams.
The influential and revered
traditional rulers prayed for a successful tenure and long life for the
Aare Ona Kakanfo designate and tasked him on different issues bothering on the
development of Yoruba land when the Aare Ona Kakanfo visited the
Obas in their different palaces at the weekend.
Gani Adams who was well received at
the Ogiyan of Ejigbo land's palace was treated to a special prayer session with
Oba Oyesosin, who has been superintending over the affairs of the ancient town
for 44 years, showering encomiums over the Aare whom he said would live
long with the Aare mandate, adding that the Aare title is a title for
powerful people and "because i know you are capable of holding the office
because of your antecedents, i charge you to use the office to foster unity
among the yorubas"
On his part, the Timi of Ede who
said "the Aare ona Kakanfo of yoruba land title is not a small title
especially to those who know" posited that "nobody can shove Gani
Adams aside if we talk about fighting for the good of yoruba land"
hence his submission that with God on his side he will
succeed.
Aligning with the Alaafin of Oyo,
Oba Lamidi Adeyemi over his choice of Adams as the 15th Aare Ona kakanfo, the
Timi of Ede said he couldnt have agreed less with the Oyo monarch over his
choice of Adams.
According to him: Alaafin is my
father, i can never go against his decision. What we call Ede today is by the
grace of God and Alaafin.
Pledging the support of Ede for the
new Aare, Timi charged him to continue to fight the cause of Yoruba which
he is noted for and eventually earned him what he described as "the
powerful title"
In the same vein, the Oluwo of Iwo
said he has been following the Aare's activities regarding his struggle
for the restoration of the dignity of the yoruba race.
According to him, there is no war to
fight like the Aare Ona kakanfo of old did, adding that, he
wants the Aare to put into use, the braveness and ideas which he is noted
for, to solve the problem of the yoruba race.
"Aare is meant to defend the
territory and the crowns of Yoruba kings.
"Your first job is to defend
the crown, when you do that, the entire yoruba land is defended.
"You have been picked to restore
the dignity of yoruba race. You are no more Gani Adams of OPC alone anymore,
you are now Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, its different.
"You must repackage the
kingship stool ,you should be the solution to Yoruba problems". the Oluwo
submitted.
In his reaction, the Aare Ona
kakanfo designate thanked the Obas for their support and show of love, even as
he promised to do all within his capacity to live to the expectation of all.
