Oba Akanbi said his efforts are tailored towards building a distinctively economic vibrant metropolis, urging stakeholders to complement his endeavours at restoring the glory of Iwo.
Oba Akanbi called on well-meaning sons and daughters of Iwoland to be more dedicated to Iwo through harmonisation of interest at securing a better future for the land.
He said, “In 1931, according to census conducted, Iwo was the 5th largest city after Lagos, Ibadan, Kano and Ogbomoso. But certain factors that cannot be discussed here caused a monumental drawback. I’ve come to reclaim and restore the glory of the town to compete favourably with Lagos, Kano and other great cities.
“I’m trying my best through traditional influence. Occasionally, I act like a boy, I don’t mind presenting myself as a party man if such will be to the advantage of the town.
“While I acknowledge the efforts of the patriots, I want to charge them to continuously toe the path of honour. I look up to the constitution of a powerful team that will design 2030, 2040 and 2050 visions for Iwoland. We should have a plan of action at intervals to economically, politically, socially and educationally shape the fortune of our great land, Iwo, the home of parrot.
“I appeal to every parent to encourage their children to be loyal and patriotic. Iwo is business-friendly and safe for investment. Let’s harmonize interest to bring out the best in us.
“My enthronement heralded unprecedented recognition for Iwo. Development is in stages. We have successfully established our position and the next is the facilitation of infrastructures. We are on that now. Though it is a sacrifice, I’m enjoying it.”
