Chieftaincy Title Conferment Ceremony of Peller, Agunbiade as Ayedero and Atobase of Yorubaland Set to Hold

These are the best of times for individuals like Hon. Shina Peller, representative of the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola Federal Constituency, Oyo State, and well-known business personality, investor and prominent offshore production expert, Dr Babajide Ademola Agunbiade. Both of these highflyers have earned the grace of Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, Iku Baba Yeye, Alaafin of Oyo, and will consequently be conferred with prestigious chieftaincy titles.

The Alaafin of Oyo’s recognition of Peller and Agunbiade is one of the most welcome news in the Pace Setter State. According to reports, as sons of the same Oyo soil, both Peller and Agunbiade have done well to plant the name of the state on the lips of all and sundry. Their meritorious contributions have raised the state a few bars above its peers, earning them royal appreciation and laudation. The chieftaincy titles, therefore, are meant to be distinguishing feathers on their caps.

Agunbiade, who is to be named the Atobase of Yoruba Land, is one of the big characters in the oil industry with more than two decades of experience under his belt. A leading global expert in offshore production, Agunbiade has excelled in his career, but even more in his devotion to his people. His Jide Agunbiade Foundation is well-known for its contributions to the lives of the needy, having made primary healthcare, access to basic education and community development within arm’s reach of the underprivileged.

Peller, on the other hand, requires no long introduction. A literal man of the people, his representing lseyin/ltesiwaju/ Kajola/lwajowa Federal Constituency has brought nothing but pride to bloom in the hearts of the people. Here is a man willing to go against the crowd for what he considers to be right.

Moreover, his timely interventions for the underprivileged have been no less effective in minimising the suffering in Oyo. For this, the Adeyemi has granted that Peller bears the title of Ayedero of Yoruba Land.
The conferment ceremony has been slated for August 28, to be held at the Alaafin’s palace in Oyo. Already, dignitaries from all walks of life are polishing shoes and changing currency notes.
It is going to be a colourful day.
