While wishing the Oba fulfilling years ahead Tanwa said he is “confident Ogbomosoland will witness a new wave of infrastructural, economic, and population advancement.”

“How a day will turn out shows from the morning is a common saying. What we have seen of the indefatigable Oba Orumogege III is a reflection of the good things to come to Ogbomoso. The city is lucky to have such a foresighted, forward-looking King. I urge everyone to cooperate and rally round him so the desired transformation can be achieved quickly.”

He added, ”Ogbomoso is becoming an haven of business and tourism, the land will certainly become a modern city, a smart, model city. I have heard of good things emanating from the city, an education summit, economic summit, a festival of international standard, football competitions, cycling tourney, golf tournament, and plan to make Ogbomoso a technological hub, these are heartening.

“Impressively, l am awed by his 25 year-development plan, it is rare for a traditional ruler to come up with such roadmap for transformation. As an individual l key wholeheartedly into it, unflinchingly, unshakably. I applaud the Kabiyesi for this wonderful initiative. And l pray God will grant him long life to realise his ardent goals. Tranquility, love, prosperity and all good things will characterize his reign in Jesus name.”
