The sleepy town of Oba-Ile in Osun State witnessed a massive turnout of people, who trooped to the town in honour of the first coronation anniversary of the Oloba of Oba-Ile, Oba Adekunle Oyeyemi. The event, which organizing committee was inaugurated by Oba Oyeyemi in January, lived up to expectations, in terms of arrangement and other logistics. Remarkably, Oba Oyeyemi did not keep his guests waiting as he arrived the venue in company of his Olori and welcomed the guests who, one after the other, paid him obeisance. But before Adegbola’s address, the Eesa of Iragbiji, Chief Muraina Oyelami prayed for Oba Oyeyemi and poured verbal libation on him to the amazement of the audience who chorused ‘Aseee’. The highpoint of the anniversary was the installation of some personalities with chieftaincy titles performed by a team of Oba-Ile traditional chiefs, including the Balogun of Oba-Ile, the famous theatre practitioner, Dr Kola Oyewo, who particularly complemented Oba Oyeyemi throughout the event.
