Another respondent and indigene of Ibadan land, Idowu Samson described the current Olubadan whose 5th coronation anniversary worthy of cerebrating, saying that His Imperial Majesty has orchestrated and displayed the leadership qualities which in entirety enhance the peaceful atmosphere and harmonious coexistence of all Ibadans at home and in the diaspora.
