It is no longer news that Barrister Ade Kingsley Ogunmiloyo was recently crowned the Abobarin of Aisegba Ekiti by the traditional ruler of Aisegba kingdom Oba Solomon Adeyanju Omotoyinbo the Apalufin of Aisegba kingdom.
The ancient town must surely marvel at the sight of dignitaries who thronged the palace to support their friend and family on his new status. The Apalufin surely made the right choice to confer this important title on a man of his status which coincides with the saying : he whom the cap fits, let him wear it.
Ado Ekiti the ekiti state capital has sure not played host to such cremé de la cremé of the society in a long time. The Afe Babalola hall which host the reception ceremony was not just jampacked by people but very important personalities who are shakers and movers of business and politics came to felicitate with the brand new ‘ Baba Oloye’
Chief Ogunmiloyo is sure a well cultured philantropist with a hand in all ramifications of life.
Those who witnessed the “Iwuye” proper at Aisegba and the grand reception will testify that only a man with full capacity can command such presence of personalities across the country.
Chief Ogunmiloyo is sure a truly ‘Abobarin’ for only a man like him can actually command the presence of kings and surely walk with royalties.
His bossom friend Hon. Olusola Steve Fatoba who rendered a befitting eulogy in honour of Barrister Ade kingsley was quick to mention his achievements, his contributions to the society, his undiluted love for humanity which sums up the personality of a man who rose from brilliance to glory.
Honorable Femi Bamisile representing Ekiti at the hallowed chambers also did not mince words in describing the worth of the legal icon.
The deputy governor of Ekiti state, Chief Mrs Monisade Afuye, Honorable Bimbo Daramola and the former vice chairperson of the All progressive congress in ekiti Chief Mrs Kemisola Olaleye and Alhaji Mojeed to mention a few were all present to felicitate with the astute business man on his new status.
