The Minister of State in the Federal Ministry of Mines and Development, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, has bagged two chieftaincy titles. The former lawmaker is now the Yeye Midan of Akure kingdom. The chieftaincy title was conferred on her by the Deji of Akure, His Royal Highness, Oba Aladetoyinbo Oguntade Aladelusi.
The royal father gave her the title for her contribution in Ondo State and Nigeria in general when she was the Minister of Transportation in Nigeria.
The Emir of Yashikira, in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Umani Seriki Usman also conferred on Saraki, Ga’atar Ma’atar of Yashikira Emirate. The elated chief took to social media to share the good news and to express her deep appreciation to the two royal fathers. She revealed that she is humbled by the two traditional titles and her little contribution has been greatly appreciated by the two kings. She promised to do more towards entrenching gender advocacy, grassroots political engagements and pushing the envelope of true leadership in different communities and the country at large.
