December 25, (THEWILL) – Otunba Lekan Osifeso’s philanthropy and remarkable strides in the construction industry, through his Retro Construction Company, have convinced the Awujale of Ijebu, Oba Sikiru Adetona, to confer on him two distinguished titles: the Madaza and the Olotu Olowa of Ijebuland.
The journey to the conferment of the titles began about eight months ago when he had to be secluded for some time. Last week, the final leg of the conferment began when the stylish businessman drove into the expansive palace of the Awujale in his Mercedes Maybach S600 in the company of his two wives, Pastor (Mrs) Osifeso and Erelu Tola. Dressed in a long white gown and matching white cap, the charismatic socialite accessorised his outfit with a long flowing gold and coral necklace that stopped just short of his ankle.
The 87-year-old Awujale, accompanied by over two dozen Ijebu high chiefs, stepped out of his comfort zone to shower Otunba Lekan with prayers, signalling the conferment of the titles. The revered king revealed that the Olotu-Olowa title was something that Otunba Osifeso’s father worked towards during his own time. A reception party followed thereafter that was attended by important personalities, including the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu, his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, his chief of staff, Tayo Ayinde and several others too numerous to mention.
