Olu of Kasemola, HRH Prof. E.I Afrifalo, Sends Heartfelt Congratulations to Governor Aiyedatiwa, Commends Leadership Excellence
In a heartfelt and warm message, the Olu of Kasemola in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, HRH (Prof.) Ebenezer Ibukun Afrifalo, has extended his sincere congratulations to Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa and his Deputy, Dr. Olayide Adelami, on the successful completion of their recent inauguration.
Speaking to the Democrat News Magazine in Akure on Wednesday, March 4th, 2025, Prof. Afrifalo expressed his admiration for the Governor’s leadership qualities, noting that Aiyedatiwa’s ascension to office has been a blessing to Ondo State. He lauded the Governor for his remarkable ability to manage challenging situations with grace and poise, emphasizing that his tenure so far has been free of any negative records.
With deep optimism, the revered traditional ruler prayed that God would continue to bless Governor Aiyedatiwa with wisdom, granting him the necessary foresight to lead the state to even greater heights. “He will achieve what past Governors could not accomplish in Ondo State, and we trust that God will provide him with the resources and strength to succeed,” he remarked.
Prof. Afrifalo also applauded the Governor’s 7-point agenda, encapsulated under the acronym “OUR EASE,” commending the recent appointment of 1,010 secondary school teachers as a promising first step in the realization of this vision. This, he believes, is a clear indication of the Governor’s commitment to reshaping the educational landscape and fostering sustainable development in the state.
In his message, the monarch appealed to the Local Government Chairmen across the 18 Local Government Areas of Ondo State to remain steadfast in their support of the state’s development agenda. He urged them to work diligently to ensure that unprecedented growth and development reach every corner of the state, particularly at the grassroots level.
Prof. Afrifalo’s call for unity didn’t end with the local government. He urged all sons and daughters of Ondo State, both at home and abroad, to rally behind the present government. He stressed that such collective support would ensure the equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy to all citizens, promoting harmony and progress across the state.
In conclusion, the distinguished monarch emphasized the need for government to prioritize rural development, particularly in the provision of essential infrastructure and access roads. Such efforts, he noted, are crucial for boosting the economic potential of rural communities and enhancing the overall prosperity of Ondo State.
With his heartfelt prayers and calls for collaboration, Prof. Afrifalo has once again shown his unwavering commitment to the progress and development of Ondo State.
