…Prays reign heralds new lease of peace, happiness and prosperity in Yorubaland
The Owa Obokun Adimula and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland, His Imperial Majesty Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, Ajimoko III, has felicitated with the new Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, on his ascension to the highly revered throne as the 46th Alaafin.
A member of the Agunloye Ruling House and direct descendant of Alaafin Atiba, Oba Owoade, was installed amid pomp as the 46th Alaafin in the ancient city of Oyo on Saturday, April 5, 2025. The event drew dignitaries from across the world and demographics.

In the message, personally signed by him and titled: IN TOGETHERNESS, WE ARE ONE, Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup heartily congratulated Oba Owoade on his historic ascension to the throne, wishing him a long and peaceful reign.
The Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland regretted that he could not attend the epochal event because he is currently observing a mandatory 90-day seclusion (Ipebi). But he recalled the bond between Alaafin and Owa Obokun, which dates back to the evolution of the Yoruba race, and enthused that it was “gratifying to note that our forefathers succeeded in sustaining this great legacy of kinship, brotherliness and brotherhood.”
Owa Haastrup, therefore, prayed for divine enablement for Oba Owoade to provide the leadership desired for and by the people of his kingdom and the entire Yoruba race.
Below is the full text of the royal message from the Owa Obokun Adimula and Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland:
HIM, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade,
Alaafin of Oyo,.
Alaafin’s Palace,
Oyo.
Your Imperial Majesty,
IN TOGETHERNESS, WE ARE ONE
On behalf of myself and the entire Sons and Daughters of Ijesaland, I offer my hearty congratulations to you and the entire people of Oyo kingdom on your ascension to the throne of Iku Baba Yeye, your legendary forefathers.
In retrospect, the bond between Alaafin and Owa Obokun dates back to the evolution of the Yoruba race, an era that predates all of the present generation of Oodua descendants. It is gratifying to note that our forefathers succeeded in sustaining this great legacy of kinship, brotherliness and brotherhood.
As Your Majesty may be aware, I am currently observing mandatory seclusion, hence my inability to participate in the coronation festivities.
As a representative of the Yoruba cultural heritage and the embodiment of wisdom, I pray for divine enablement for you to provide the leadership desired for and by the people of your kingdom and the entire Yoruba race.
May your reign herald a new lease of peace, happiness, and prosperity in the entire Yorubaland.
Accept the assurances of the people of Ijesaland for mutual understanding and cooperation.
Congratulations.
Sincerely,
HIM, Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, Ajimoko 111,
Owa Obokun Adimula & Paramount Ruler of Ijesaland
