An illustrous son of Ogbomosoland and Chairman of Prestige Paint Nigeria Limited, Dr. Olabayo Olaonipekun Oyadiran, has congratulated the Soun of Ogbomosoland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, on his victory at the Appeal Court on Tuesday.

Dr. Oyadiran, a global businessman reputed for his zeal for Ogbomosoland’s development, said the victory has further solidified the acceptability of the Paramount Ruler in and outside the land.
He said it it would have been calamitous for Ogbomosoland to be drawn back with the baseless case instituted against the Soun, whom he described as the “Architect of Modern Ogbomosoland.”
In a statement he personally signed, the business tycoon and philanthropist noted that the victory was not only for Oba Olaoye but also for the progress and development of Ogbomosoland and beyond.
He said, “The Appeal Court judgement on Tuesday in Ibadan which affirmed the installation of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III as the Soun of Ogbomosoland is a good development.
“It is my greatest joy as a lover of progress and development of Ogbomosoland that the judgement went in favour of our dearly beloved King.
“Nobody would have expected less in the judgement because of the resoluteness of our Kaabiesi to make Ogbomoso a proud city in the global stage. A good look at the 25-Year Development Plan of Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, the Soun of Ogbomosoland tells on the good plan that the King has for communities.”
Dr. Oyadiran, in the statement, also called on all sons and daughters of Ogbomosolsbd, both at home and in the Diaspora, to support the lofty agenda of Oba Olaoye towards Ogbomoso’s development.
“The victory is not least expected and we are happy. I, therefore, call on all sons and daughters of Ogbomosoland, both home and in the Diaspora to continue supporting our quintessential Kaabiesi in his giant strides of taking Ogbomoso to El Dorado.
“This is our prayer and that God should grant our dear King the Solomonic wisdom to lead Ogbomosoland to greater heights within the shortest possible distance.
“Kaabiesi, may your reign be long. Congratulations, Sir,” Dr. Oyadiran said.
