The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election, Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle, fondly known as DoN, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Executive Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency Engr. Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, and his wife, Her Excellency Engr. (Mrs.) Tamunominini Makinde, on their recent conferment with the revered chieftaincy titles of Aare Omoluwabi and Yeye Aare Omoluwabi of Akure Land.
In a congratulatory statement released on Thursday, Hon. Oyekunle described the prestigious recognition as “a well-deserved honour” that reflects the Governor’s legacy of integrity, vision, and selfless service—not only to Oyo State but to the entire South West region and Nigeria at large.
“The conferment of the Aare Omoluwabi and Yeye Aare Omoluwabi titles on His Excellency and our amiable First Lady is a testament to their exemplary leadership, humility, and commitment to humanity. Their names continue to inspire a new generation of purposeful leaders,” the statement read.
He further noted that the honour from the traditional institution in Akure Land is a strong endorsement of Governor Makinde’s unifying influence and his wife’s consistent support in driving inclusive development and social welfare across communities.
“As a son of Ibadan and a proud member of the PDP family, I rejoice with our Governor and First Lady on this momentous milestone. I pray their reign as Aare and Yeye Aare Omoluwabi brings more grace, wisdom, and strength to continue their noble service to humanity,” Hon. Oyekunle added.
The coronation ceremony, which was held in Akure, the Ondo State capital, attracted dignitaries from across the country and was marked by a grand celebration of Yoruba cultural heritage and traditional values.
Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle concluded his message by wishing the First Couple continued success, good health, and divine favour as they carry the revered titles with dignity and purpose.
