OLU OF ORILE-KEMTA SOLICITS SUBJECTS’ SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

 The Olu of Orile-Kemta in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Adetokunbo Tejuoso, has called on sons and daughters of his community for their support in order to give room for more development.

In a press release made available to Nigerian Tribune by the media and publicity secretary to the traditional ruler, Chief Olatunji Bandele, Oba Tejuoso, who is the first traditional ruler of Orile-Kemta appreciated the Ogun State government and his subjects both at home and in the diaspora for their support since his enthronement three years ago.

His words: “I abandoned juicy corporate job to come and serve my people and develop my community because of the love I have for culture and tradition. “For five years I was dodging my people just to avoid being a traditional ruler. But today, I’m happy and fulfilled because I am in a position to serve directly.”

Speaking on the agricultural development of the area, the traditional ruler bemoaned the state of insecurity in the country, especially South-West.

“I am not happy with the state of insecurity in our society. Most farmers, including my people, have abandoned their farmlands because of the nefarious activities of Fulani herdsmen, kidnappers, among others. This situation has led to increase in price of foodstuffs in the market,” he said.

He, however, called on other Yoruba traditional rulers to be vigilant in their domains so as to avert the killings of their innocent subjects.
