Alao Celebrates Royal Icon: Golden Jubilee Tribute to Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade, Alaafin of Oyo
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC Engr Oyedele Hakeem Alao, popularly known as Allow Alao, joined millions of people to celebrate Alaafin of Oyo on his birthday, he wrote.
On this glorious day, I, Engr. Oyedele Hakeem Alao heartily rejoices with His Imperial Majesty, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade, the Alaafin of Oyo, as he marks his golden jubilee on earth.
A 50th birthday is not just a celebration of years but a divine affirmation of grace, wisdom, strength, and a life of royal service. Kabiyesi, your reign has become a beacon of hope, a symbol of unity, and a reflection of our deep-rooted cultural heritage. Your embodiment of both traditional reverence and modern progressiveness has won you admiration from far and near.
In just a short time on the throne, you have shown that leadership is not by title alone but by vision, compassion, and character. The sacred stool of Alaafin has indeed found a worthy custodian — a king who listens to his people, who leads with peace, and who reigns with dignity.
As you clock 50, I pray that the Almighty crowns your new age with long life, robust health, deeper wisdom, divine protection, and unprecedented achievements. May your days continue to be long on the throne of your forefathers. May Oyo Kingdom flourish more under your leadership, and may the legacy of your name be written in gold among the great kings of Yoruba land.
Happy 50th birthday to a royal icon, a cultural custodian, and a father to all.
K’ade pe l’ori, ki bata pe l’ese, Oba a gbehin ogun!
Long live the Alaafin!
Long live the Kingdom of Oyo!!
