Over 70 first class obas in Ogun and Lagos States and other creme de la creme in the society are expected to grace the official launching and foundation laying ceremony of the ultra-modern private residence of His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr) Abdul-Lateef Adeniran Akanni, the Olofin Adimula Of Ado-Odo, Awori Kingdom.
The event, which is slated for February 20, 2021, will be held at the Ogun State Housing Corporation, Oke-Oyinbo, Ado-Odo, Ogun State at 12noon.
Oba Akanni has achieved so much within a very short time on the throne. He is development-conscious for his people. The quintessential Oba has continued to promote harmonious relationships, respect traditional institutions, unify the people and resolve communal and individual disputes through the principles of social justice and equity.
Within the short span, he has changed the face of the traditional institution in Nigeria, striving for development and modernism, even as he jealously guards its prime culture, customs and traditions.
