The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the appointment of the APC chieftain as the new Owa of Igbajo was announced Monday by the state government.
The Amotekun commander, in a congratulatory message, described the APC Chair as an upright man and a foremost custodian of the people’s traditions.
“The appointment of Famodun is putting the right peg in the right hole, which will bring more progress to the Igbajo community,“ he said.
Adewinmbi said Famodun was equipped with leadership qualities, having piloted the affairs of APC in the state for years.
NAN reports that Osun Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, announced the appointment of Famodun as the Owa of Igbajo in a statement she issued on Monday.
Egbedore said the appointment, which was with immediate effect, was made at the State Executive Council meeting.
It will be recalled that the Owa of Igbajo stool became vacant following the death of Oba Olufemi Fasade on Dec. 23, 2020. (NAN)
