| His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi The Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remo Land |
The entire Sagamu, and indeed Remo Land, shook to its foundation
following the formal announcement of the demise of Oba Michael Adeniyi Sonariwo
(Erinjugbo 2) Akarigbo of Remo Land in 2016.
Sequel to the performance of all necessary traditional rites and
completion of the statutory / traditional mourning period, the questions on the
lips of many concerned Sagamu and Remo citizens was who is fit to step into the
big shoe and effectively occupy the throne of the Akarigbo of Remo Land.
The fears and concerns being raised were not unfounded. This is, considering
the leadership role, influence and responsibility that lie on the throne of the
Akarigbo of Remo Land- a First Class Monarch and Paramount Ruler of Remo’s 33
traditional towns and communities.
Nineteen (19) distinguished and eminently qualified Princes from
the Torungbuwa Ruling House threw their hats into the ring for what has gone
down in history as one of the most keenly contested election into the Akarigbo stool.
Kingmakers were thorough in the selection process and an unassuming Prince
Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, a Lawyer, Chartered Accountant and Certified
Turnaround Professional was chosen as the Akarigbo-Elect for Remo Land. To say
the entire Remo Land burst into instant jubilation and celebration is stating the
obvious!
What followed was an unprecedented weeks of carnival and
celebration at the Ipebi Akarigbo where then Akarigbo-Elect observed his mandatory traditional seclusion, before Akarigbo Palace, popularly called Ita
Oba. Sagamu received thousands of who-is-who’s across the entire Ogun State and
beyond who came to pay homage and catch a glimpse of the new Akarigbo of Remo
Land.
If indeed,history was made in Remo Land on 7th December,
2017, with the formal coronation of a handsome, passionate, well-read and
widely travelled Remo Prince, Prince Babatunde Adewale Ajayi from the
Torungbuwa Ruling House of Akarigbo Remo Land, the landmark achievements and
unprecedented peace, progress and unity
that Remo Land has witnessed within the last two years reign of Oba
Ajayi is much more historic.
Within two years on the throne, Oba Ajayi has succeeded in redefining
Royalty with his humility, unique midas touch; unprecedented strides and out-of-the-box
development initiatives.
Some of Oba Ajayi's landmark achievements include the followings, among others;
1. The establishment of Remo Growth And Development Foundation (Remo GDF)
2. Subsidized Mass Transit
Bus Ride Across Remo Land
3. Establishment of
International Passport Office In Sagamu
4. Establishment of
Multi-Door Court House In Sagamu
5. Inauguration of The
Akarigbo Corporate Council
6. Unprecedented Peace,
Unity And Progress Across Remo Land
Long may you reign, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale
Ajayi, LLB, LLM, FCIB The Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remo Land.
