The natural ruler said: “The Palace of the Oluodo , on this historic and historical occasion, salutes the enterprising people of Odo-Ijesha on this 63rd independence anniversary.
“The struggle for independence was not an easy one but our founding fathers prevailed. As our forebears and founding fathers prevailed, beyond a shadow of doubt, we shall emerge victorious over any challenges.
‘’It is gratifying to inform my people that our march towards a prosperous, progressive and peaceful Odo-Ijesha has just begun.
‘’The future is pregnant with limitless opportunities and good tidings. We have what it takes to be great – human and natural resources.
“Greatness is on the horizon. We can make our community great. We can build the town of our dreams. Let’s come together to chart a new path for Odo’s greatness.
“A prosperous, progressive and peaceful Odo is possible, achievable and attainable. Your support is pivotal to achieve the much-desired greatness.
‘’Happy 63rd Independence Anniversary, to my enterprising people.”
The monarch also congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the auspicious day, canvassing support for the president to succeed in the onerous tasks of nation building.
Again, Oba Olayinka sent a heart-warming congratulatory message to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
The royal father said: “ Very importantly, the Palace wants to congratulate the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen.
