Oba Adetunji unveiled Oyekanmi during a visit of CCII members to his palace, located at Popoyemoja in Ibadan.The CCII members were led by their President-General, Chief Yemi Soladoye, who recently got elected for a second term in office.
The monarch, who thanked the CCII leadership and members of Iyalode-In-Council for their visit, used the opportunity to dispel rumours that Mrs. Oyekanmi, the current Otun Iyalode may be dropped for another candidate. The monarch said, “Many have come to me that I should not crown you but I asked them what were your sins and why did they say I should not make you, a next in the rank to be Iyalode?
He then prayed for long life for Iyalode and God’s mercy on his reign to enable him succeed as the paramount ruler of the city, reputed to be a war camp for the Yoruba warlords, many centuries ago.
