“There is verifiable evidence that His majesty, Oba Gbolahan Lawal, has the capacity to lead his people of Iruland in these modern times. Prince Gbolahan Lawal succeeds the late Oba Idowu Abiodun, the former Oniru of Iruland who transitioned in 2019 at the age of 82. Later, Prince Gbolahan Lawal was the Senior Special Assistant on Special Projects to former Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN. Oke recalled “several fantastic ideas and innovations” in all the new Oba’s previous postings with the Lagos state government. “However, going forward, and judging by his antecedents, the people of Iru can only expect Oba Gbolahan Lawal to bring his uncommon insights into his reign.”
