Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam, Shafaudeen in Islam worldwide, Sheikh Sabit Ariyo Olagoke, has described the Olubadan-designate, High Chief Saliu Adetunji, as a divinely ordained monarch for credible leadership due to his age, patience and wisdom.

He made this assertion during a courtesy visit to the Olubadan at his Popoyemoja, Ibadan residence on Monday.

Sheikh Olagoke explained that Adetunji, as a silent achiever, has contributed to the success of many in the music industry and the society as a whole. He noted that his wide acceptability and aura of God in him would make his reign successful.

He however called on indigenes and residents of Ibadan to support the monarch for the realisation of his developmental agenda of the city, chiefly quest for creation of Ibadan state.

Responding, High Chief Adetunji, who was full of praises to Allah, affirmed that his accession to the stool is an unchallenged act of God envisaged by the late Olubadan and late Balogun of Ibadan, High Chief Sule Omiyale, who God used for him to be the next Olubadan. Adetunji noted that it was the Late Omiyale who mounted pressure on him to be the Mogaji for three years.

Addressing journalists after the visit, Sheikh Olagoke called for conversion of Olubadan Palace at Oja'Ba to secretariat for the office of Olubadan and the establishment of a library within the new palace. He therefore donated 18 textbooks on social and religious issues to the
proposed library.
