The monarch said with the ascension and coronation of Oba Lawal, there would be even development of both Iru and Elegushi kingdoms and that this would be replicated across other territories making up the local government, as he is excited at the prospects of working with an experience public official and development expert as the new Oniru.

In his remarks, the Oniru of Iru, Oba Lawal said he was at the Elegushi’s palace to thank him and the people of Ikate Kingdom for the love and support shown to him during the process of his ascension and eventual coronation as the 15th Oniru, reminding that their support during the period helped in simplifying the process.
