The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has praised Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Governor of Osun State, for his determination to grant Local Government areas in the state autonomy.
This was stated in a statement obtained on Monday in Osogbo and signed by Oba Akanbi.
Oba Akanbi added that Adeleke made a good choice in allowing the royal fathers access to the state’s financial records during their regular meeting.
He added that the action was a sign that the governor understood the crucial responsibilities monarchs play in running the affairs of the state.
Parts of the statement read, “I don’t know where he got the wisdom of having a meeting with the traditional institution to commence his administration, but I know such must be a divine wisdom from God. He is starting on a good note for recognising the traditional institution.
“Equally, the governor deserves another commendation for his pledge to grant autonomy to local government administrations in Osun State.
“Doing such will repose the confidence in local government and extend dividends of democracy to the grassroots.”
