“The state government just conveyed the approval to me now. Congratulations to all Owus.”
The Osun monarch has been an advocate for the support of the Nigeria military, especially the army, towards defeating the insurgents in the country.
“He is also among the few Obas in Nigeria who have always lent their voices to national issues which has earned him many recognitions within the media and non governmental organisations,” the statement read.
