The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Aare Gani Adams, is a colossus whose leadership role in the promotion of Yoruba culture and tradition has made monumental impacts on the Yoruba society.
The Aare Atunluse of Aworiland, Segun Osifeso, made the remark during a reception in honour of Aare Gani Adams.
Osifeso noted that the contributions of the Aare Gani Adams would continue to be a reference point and a rich resource in any national discourse.
He described him as a visionary and charismatic leader whose exemplary leadership style was worthy of emulation.
Osifeso said Aare Adams was a cultural ambassador of high standing whose passion and dedication to the advancement of Yoruba culture and tradition was undiluted.
“Over the years, this inimitable Yoruba leader has clearly shown that he is not just a foremost cultural ambassador whose first love is the promotion of Yoruba culture and tradition, but that he is also a mentor who imparts values, virtues and character which are key components of leadership and it is a custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition of Aare Adams’ calibre that we sorely desire in our society,” Dr. Osifeso said.
Osifeso noted that he was proud to identify with Aare Gani Adams’ landmark achievements, stressing that the Yoruba race would remain grateful to him for his sacrifices for the unity and stability of the region in particular and Nigeria in general.
