In a powerful show of solidarity, the Otta-Awori District Obas rolled out the royal welcome mat for HRM Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle, the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland, who also chairs the Ogun State Council of Obas.
Joined by key monarchs from the Yewa Traditional Council, the high-profile courtesy visit on Friday, February 20, 2026, doubled as a strategic powerhouse session at the historic Ipeti Royal Square in the Olota’s Palace, Otta, Ogun State.
Prince Adeyemi Olusesi, Principal Secretary to His Majesty the Olota, confirmed the meeting in a statement released Saturday and shared with newsheadline247. The discussions centered on forging a united front to safeguard and promote the interests of the Yewa-Awori people in Ogun West Senatorial District.
