Today, we celebrate not just a reign, but a legacy. Nineteen remarkable years ago, Oke-Ila Orangun was blessed with a king whose heart is as noble as his crown, and whose vision is as enduring as the ancient throne he ascended. HRM, Oba Adedokun Omoniyi Abolarin, the Orangun of Oke-Ila, stands tall as a monarch whose life continues to illuminate the path of his people.
Kabiyesi is more than a traditional ruler, he is an erudite scholar whose depth of knowledge inspires generations; an eloquent lawyer whose voice carries wisdom, justice, and truth; a seasoned administrator whose leadership has transformed lives; and a versatile leader whose compassion has become a beacon of hope for many.
Your Majesty’s contributions to humanity are immeasurable. You have redefined what it means to lead, with humility, with service, and with unwavering commitment to the welfare of others. Your establishment of free, quality education for less-privileged children at the Abolarin College remains one of the most profound gifts any leader can offer. Through this noble initiative, you have opened doors of opportunity to countless young minds who would otherwise have been left behind. You did not just build a school; you built futures, nurtured dreams, and restored dignity.
Kabiyesi, your reign has also been marked by deep compassion for the elderly, the pillars and libraries of our community. Your care for the aged, your constant support and presence in their lives, reflect a rare kind of leadership rooted in love, empathy, and respect for the wisdom of our ancestors.
In these 19 years, you have shown that royalty is not merely a title but a calling, a sacred duty to uplift, empower, and unify. You have carried that duty with honour, grace, and unmatched commitment.
As we celebrate your 19th anniversary on the throne, ROVROUND COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED thanks God for the gift of your life, your wisdom, and your service. May your reign continue to flourish. May your impact grow even deeper. And may the land of Oke-Ila continue to prosper under your visionary leadership.
Long live the Orangun of Oke-Ila!
Long live HRM Oba Adedokun Omoniyi Abolarin!
Long may you reign, Kabiyesi!
