Acknowledging Governor Makinde’s commitment to traditional institutions, Oyelade said the imminent completion of the palace of Olubadan of Ibadan land is possible largely because of the personal intervention of the government. 

The commissioner praised the Governor for working closely with traditional institutions towards strengthening security architecture across the state, curbing activities of illegal miners  through community based approach and stopping the menace of land grabbers and herdsmen.

Olayiwola said the Makinde’s administration has enthroned imperial majesties, royal majesties, royal highnesses and Baales running to over 60 in a bid to secure the territorial integrity of Oyo state.

Speaking on the vacant Alaafin of Oyo  stool, the he said government is  committed to the age- long tradition of the selection process, assuring that the administration will ensure the integrity of the selection process and prevent any form of compromises in choosing a new Alaafin of Oyo for the people.

Regarding the upcoming April 27th Local Government election, the Commissioner assured the public that the Ministry is working tirelessly to ensure that the election is free and fair.

Reiterating the Ministry’s commitment to upholding democracy and good governance in the state, the Commissioner stressed the importance of a peaceful electoral process. He further urged all stakeholders, including political parties, candidates, and voters, to abide by the rules and regulations of the  electoral commission.
