Prince Rotimi Adegboye Emerges Oba-Elect Of Iru/Ilashe Kingdom

The new paramount ruler of the Iru/Ilashe Kingdom in Eti-Osa area of Lagos State has been unveiled by the Omowumi Abisogun family following the demise of Oba Fatai Akinyemi who joined his ancestors over a year ago

This news was made public today during a press conference held in Lagos, where the head of Omowumi Abisogun family, Alhaji Surajudeen Durosinmi, announced that the family had unanimously nominated Prince Rotimi Oluseyi Adegboye, who hailed from Idowu Omowumi Abisogun branch, as the new Onilashe of Iru-Ilashe Kingdom.

He said the family, after a diligent search, agreed on the choice of Adegboye as the new Oba of Ilashe Kingdom.

According to him, Adegboye is a team leader who is conscious of his responsibility of carrying along all Omowumi Abisogun Ekinnu family members both home and abroad while discharging his duties of promoting the culture of the people of Ilashe within a mega city of Lagos State.

He further said that he would work closely with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure that the Ilashe Kingdom witnesses development that will attract government and private investments during his reign.

“It has been a few years since Iru/Ilashe did not have an Oba, and our family felt that it was time to fill the vacant stool. Based on this, and after due consultation, we, the family of Omowumi Abisogun Ekinnu, have unanimously agreed on the choice of Prince Oluwarotimi.

“Prince Adegboye is acceptable to all family members both at home and abroad. He is a bridge builder with vast experience in the promotion of culture. He equally understands the task of working with the state government in attracting development to the Iru/Ilashe Kingdom.

“Being the Head of the Omowumi Abisogun family worldwide, I am asking esteemed members of our family to cooperate with the new Oba so that Iru/Ilashe will witness enduring development.

“This is time for every member of Omowumi Abisogun to join hands in making the Iru/Ilashe Kingdom great. There is a lot to be done, that is why I’m using my office to preach peace among the family members for the good of the entire Omowumi Abisogun Ekinnu family,” Durosinmi said.
