November 17, (THEWILL) – Oladipupo Adebutu, a two-time governorship candidate in Ogun State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been conferred with the chieftaincy title of Asiwaju Odogbolu.
His wife, Yeye Adenike was also conferred as the Yeye Asiwaju of Odogbolu. They were both conferred with the titles by the Alaye of Odogbolu, His Royal Highness, Oba Adedeji Onagoruwa.
The installation ceremony which took place on the palace grounds of the Alaye of Odogbolu in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State saw notable royal fathers, party leaders and some politicians in attendance.
Oba Onagoruwa said he conferred the title on Adebutu so that he can continue his mother’s legacy in Odogbolu and to remain a reference point in the history of the community. The royal father, while noting that Adebutu’s philanthropic gesture and social investment has positively impacted the lives of the aged and the youth of the community, charged Adebutu to continue to emulate his mother’s legacy and foster unity in the community.
Adebutu thanked the traditional ruler for the honour bestowed on him, promising to continue his family lineage of community development.
