The Oniworo of Iworo Kingdom, Oba Oladele Kosoko and the Association of Baales-in-Council in Eti Osa area of Lagos State have described the ascension of the Oniru of Iru, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, to the throne of his forefathers as a confirmation of his good character, leadership skills, commitment, performance, humility, and sincerity to the state.
Oba Kosoko and the Baales in Eti Osa East Local Council Development Area in the state under the chairmanship of Chief Shakiru Akinlade said this while felicitating the new Oniru, expressing happiness on his ascension to the throne as the 15th Oniru, even as they prayed God to furnish him with the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to rule successfully.
The Oniworo, while applauding the Oba Lawal’s ascension to the throne of his forefather, described the news of his enthronement as divine, saying it had brought so much joy, not only to the ruling family but also to the entire state and the nation in general.
