Tafin of Orile Tafin Honours Folake Adeyemi, Calls for Unity and Community Growth
The Tafin of Orile Tafin in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Moruf Adebayo, has urged indigenes of the community to remain united and work collectively toward the peace, progress and sustainable development of their hometown.
The monarch made the appeal during the installation of Princess. Folake Adeyemi as the Asiwaju Yeye Oge of Orile Tafin, an event held as part of activities commemorating his 70th birthday celebration.
Oba Adebayo stressed that meaningful development can only be achieved through unity, cooperation and a shared commitment to advancing the community. He encouraged sons and daughters of Orile Tafin, both at home and abroad, to continue supporting initiatives that would improve the welfare and prosperity of the people.
The royal father explained that the honorary chieftaincy title was bestowed on Mrs. Adeyemi in recognition of her unwavering dedication and contributions to the growth and development of Orile Tafin. He expressed confidence that she would continue to justify the honour by promoting initiatives that would benefit the community.
In her acceptance speech, Princess. Adeyemi thanked God and Oba Adebayo for the recognition, describing the honour as both unexpected and a lifelong dream fulfilled.
She recalled her long-standing relationship with the monarch, noting that it began long before his ascension to the throne. According to her, Orile Tafin has remained a peaceful, united and welcoming community blessed with distinguished sons and daughters who have continued to make meaningful contributions to society.
Princess Adeyemi pledged to use her new position to foster peace, strengthen unity and champion development across the community. She said her priorities would include empowering women and young people while supporting projects that would drive the overall growth of Orile Tafin.
The colourful ceremony, which also marked Oba Moruf Adebayo’s 70th birthday, attracted several traditional rulers, including the Towulade of Owu Akinale, Oba Oluseyi Adediran, as well as community leaders, family members, friends and well-wishers from within and outside Ogun State.
