The chairman of Isolo LCDA, Olasoju Adebayo has sent his heartfelt congratulatory message to his father figure and Mayegun of Yoruba land, Olasunkanmi Ayinde-Marshal, MON, on the conferment of the title of Olori Omoba of Ijebu Land.
The title was conferred on the musical superstar and an illustrious son of Ijebu Land at this year’s edition of the grand Ojude Oba Festival.
Olasoju, via a press statement released by his media office, described the conferment of the prestigious title on K1 as an acknowledgement of his heroic deeds, especially his genre of music that has helped promote Ijebu Land and placed Nigeria on the map of entertainment globally.
“I heartily rejoice with my father, the Mayegun of Yoruba Land, Prince Olasunkanmi Ayinde Marshal, MON, on his pronouncement as the new Olori Omoba of Ijebu Land. This latest feather added to his well-decorated cap is no doubt an acknowledgement of his immense contributions to cultural advancement via his redefined genre of music (Fuji) – which has not only promoted Ijebu Land but unprecedentedly placed Nigeria on the global map of recreation,” the statement read in part.
Praying for the new Olori Omoba of Ijebu Land, Olasoju while expressing his confidence in Ayinde Marshal’s capability to meet the expectations his new title demands of him, beseeched God for His continued guidance and wisdom for the Fuji maestro.
Ayinde Marshal’s conferment with the coveted title makes him the foremost prince in Ijebu Land following the death of the late renowned banker and founder of FCMB Bank, Chief Michael Olasubomi Balogun who held the title till his death on May 19, 2023.
