“We are all governing Ibadan. I’m just the coordinator. You people are the small Olubadan; I’m the big Olubadan,” he stated, assuring the people that his reign would prioritise the collective good of the ancient city.

The monarch further stressed his belief that Ibadan would continue to thrive under God’s grace, with the support of both the Olubadan-in-Council and the entire populace.
