As the Oluomo of Ejigboland, Dr Salaam praised the current reign of the Ogiyan, noting that it has been a period of significant political and developmental achievements for the community.
“Since the ascension of the Ogiyan to the throne, Ejigbo has produced a Senator, a member of the House of Representatives, and two Speakers of the Osun State House of Assembly. It is now time for Ejigboland to produce a Governor,” he declared.
In response, the Ogiyan of Ejigbo expressed gratitude to Dr Salaam for his ambition, noting it brings honour to Ejigboland. The monarch offered prayers for Dr Salaam’s success, highlighting the unity and goodwill surrounding him and the ADC as promising indicators of a positive journey ahead.
