President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended heartfelt congratulations to Oba Adesuyi Haastrup following his official coronation as the new traditional ruler of Ijesha Land in Osun State.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu praised the new monarch’s achievements and journey from the business sector and real estate into politics, eventually rising to serve as a deputy governor and now, as a traditional leader.
“Oba Haastrup’s life is a story of dedication and achievement,” Tinubu said. “His character and devotion to the traditional institution are worthy of recognition.”
The coronation, held in Ilesha, attracted top dignitaries from across the nation. Among the notable attendees were former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and the current Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke.
Tinubu encouraged the new monarch to uphold the values of unity and tradition in his reign, urging him to serve as a symbol of harmony across Ijesha Land, Osun State, and the entire country.
The President concluded his message by praying for divine wisdom and guidance for Oba Haastrup, hoping that he builds upon the strong legacy of his forefathers.
