Yemisi Suswam, wife of the former governor of Benue State has commended the Oniru of Iru Kingdom, Oba Omogbolahan Lawal on his achievements so far in the Kingdom.

Suswam who made this known when she paid a courtesy visit to the Oniru at his Palace in Iru, Victoria Island, Lagos explained that she was not surprised with the level of development that had been brought to Iru Kingdom since Oba Lawal’s ascension to the throne given his expertise.

According to her, being one of the youngest kings to rule Iru Kingdom, Oba Lawal has come with visions, ideas, expertise, experience and exposure which would set the Kingdom apart for greatness.

“I will tell you I’m rating from far because I don’t live around Iru kingdom but knowing his antecedents, knowing where he’s coming from, his pedigree; I am not surprised with what I am seeing in the Palace. I can see lots of transformations here.

“I know the way he has started thus far, he’s doing great. I’m not surprised. I will keep saying it, I’m not surprised. If you know who Kabiyesi is and who he has always been, and the kind of backbone that he has in Olori Mariam Lawal, you would know that this is a good pair that will go a very long way. They’re very liberal, open, hospitable and very simple and humble. You can see what I’m talking about. There’s no air, they are down to earth.
