The Sultan noted that many good things are happening to the Deji and his kingdom simultaneously from Federal to state appointments which l have lifted the face of the community.
These, he says, can only be best described as signs that the Akure monarch has a destiny with success and that “all of these could not have been possible without the help of God”.
describibg the Deji as “my friend in Akure”, the Sultan promised to be more supportive of the core Yoruba community.
He recalled the exchange of visits between him and the Deji in 2019 which he noted, have cemented the relationship between the Sultanate and the Akure kingdom.
“These significant events, which had taken place, better illustrate the depth of mutual understanding and relationship between Sokoto Sultanate and Akure Kingdom, which not only that both of us have sustained but also, we have improved upon over the times.
“We assure the Deji of our continued support at all times, having worked closely with him since he became Deji,” said the Sultan.
