Oba Francis Alao’s Colourful 60th Birthday Soirée

Last weekend, the crème of society gathered in Lagos for the grand party held in celebration of the 60th birthday of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Francis Alao, the Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Oyo State.

A week before the Saturday party at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Orile Igbon was agog for the celebration of the sixth coronation anniversary of the monarch, who is the acting chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas.

Society bigwigs and top government functionaries stormed the town for the occasion that also saw the first leg of the celebration.

The tempo was then taken to another level on Saturday at the grand finale in Lagos. And right beside the monarch all through is his adorable queen, Olori Olusola Adedoyin-Alao, his beautiful and loving wife.

Alao was crowned in 2017 at the age of 54. His reign in the past six years has seen some groundbreaking blessings to his household and achievements to his land and subjects.

The kingdom regained its momentum of leadership and has been elevated to having a first-class Monarch in Oyo State.

 The pedigree of the monarch was clearly on parade at his colourful 60th birthday soirée on Saturday, with the retinue of first-class traditional rulers, captains of industry, political juggernauts and socialites that attended.
