August 30, (THEWILL) – His Royal Majesty, Oba Olufolarin Ogunsanwo, the Alara of Ilara about two weeks ago, honoured a few prominent Nigerians with chieftaincy titles, in commemoration of his first anniversary celebrations. The new chiefs are: the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt.Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who was honoured as the Agba Akin of Ilara Kingdom; the Director-General, Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), Folarin Coker, who was honoured as the Baba Eto of Ilara Kingdom; Chief (Mrs) Folake Okeowo, who bagged the title of Yeye Bobaseye of Ilara Kingdom and several others. After a very colourful traditional ceremony, the new chiefs were decorated as is the custom and then handed their certificates and showered with royal blessings. While other recipients were present to receive their certificates, Gbajabiamila was unavoidably absent.
