According to him, Adegboye is a team leader who will carry all Omowumi Abisogun Ekinnu family along while discharging his duties of promoting the culture of the people of Ilashe in a mega city.

Durosinmi believes the new monarch will work closely with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure that Ilashe Kingdom witnesses development and attracts investments during his reign.

He said: “It has been a few years since Iru/Ilashe did not have an Oba, and our family felt that it is the time to fill the vacant stool.

“After due consultation, the family of Omowumi Abisogun Ekinnu has unanimously agreed on the choice of Prince Adegboye.

“Prince Adegboye is acceptable to all family members at home and abroad. He is a bridge builder with vast experience in the promotion of culture.

“He equally understands the task of working with the state government in attracting development to Iru/Ilashe Kingdom.

“Being the Head of Omowumi Abisogun family worldwide, I am asking esteemed members of our family to cooperate with the new Oba so that Iru/Ilashe will witness enduring development.’’
