'Your ascendance to the throne of your forefathers is historic, it's the will of God and the hands of the people and you will be the first Alaafin to be here...I really appreciate your foresight for development, your humbleness and the fact that you are upholding the tradition, this inherited tradition and your ascension likewise myself is the divine will of the Almighty' - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu received in audience the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade I at the Presidential Villa.
