Ogungbangbe celebrates Ifeland royal father at birthday, described as lavishly pragmatic. By ISAAC OLUSESI

The communal growth and development of Ifetedo, with the synopsis of strides in politics, economy and societal peace are a profuse show of the significant royal pragmatism of HRM Oba Barrister Akinola Oyetade Akinrera Latiri I, relentlessly deploying his analytical and problem solving expertise and skills, on a daily basis in the management of his domain.

Dr Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe, the humane politician of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Osun East Senatorial District of the state, dropped the eulogy on the anniversary of the birthday of the Olubosin of Ifetedo in Ife South local government council area of Osun,  adding that further progress in Ifetedo would continue to be possible.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CITA ENERGIES said, "the continued successful reign of the Olubosin of Ifetedo is a result of the monumental acumen of the Ifeland royal father in the administration of his kingdom, attending strategically to every detail, using excellent communication and persuasion skills, and getting feedbacks and sustaining trust and confidence in relationships for community capacity and resilience."

The scion of the Ajagbusi Ekun Dynasty of Iloko Ijesa in Oriade local government council area of the state, noted that the style of Oba Latiri I, facilitates dispute resolution, promotes dialogue and builds further consensus on issues and agitations. "In that way, the communal values of Ifetedo gets protected and advanced, public discourse and narrative gets shaped, and future leaders from the town, mentored.

Prince Ogungbangbe is aware that the interest and aspirations of the sons and daughters of Ifetedo matter most, to have the town steadily on the path of greatness, and remarked, "the laudable contributions of the sons and daughters to the town define everyone's respective vocations, an indication that they have professionalised their different trades to the acknowledgement of the community, and I charge all to develop dynamic postures to further the growth and development of the town."

Dr Ogungbangbe prays on the occasion of the royal birthday that the reign of Olubosin, from oil and gas industry to monarch, would continue to witness social, political and economic transformation of Ifetedo into a glorious sunshine.
