Alaafin honours Aregbesola with Omoluabi title
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has bestowed upon the governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola the title of “Omoluabi of Yoruband” just as he urged Osun people to pay their taxes.
The Monarch who was at the Government House Osogbo to present the award stated that the governor has always been at the forefront of projecting the “Omoluabi ethos” which the Yoruba race has always preached.
He explained that he has always monitored the administrative and leadership style of the governor since inception of his administration, saying Ogbeni Aregbesola has always led along the line of a true “Omoluabi”.
According to the Alaafin, “The Yorubas are a tribe that always instill in their children and the youths all the characters of a responsible and well brought up individual, I have studied the leadership style of Aregbesola among all the governors in the country and have discovered that he is the only one who has through his leadership style projected the “Omoluabi ethos” of the Youruba race.”
“Aregbesola is man that breathes responsibility at all times, we have always been hearing of an Omoluabi for a long time and am so happy that we now have a Governor who is leading by example.”
As measure of the importance of his honour to Aregbesola, presented to him a photo compendium and signed framed portrait congratulating the governor on his new chieftaincy title of “Omoluabi of Yorubaland”.
Responding, Governor Rauf Aregbesola noted that the reign of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has been very peaceful. He prayed that God should make the royal father’s reign more peaceful and eventful.

Please I don’t understand Yoruba, does that title mean a rough rider? I suggested that because the governance has not been smooth for this Governor.
We will review and take appropriate action.
