The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin has commended the Igbos for their contribution to the Oyo State economy and reiterated his commitment to peaceful co-existence amongst the various ethnic groups in the ancient city.

According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Gbenga Ayoade, in Ibadan, the state capital, on Wednesday, Oba Olakulehin gave the commendation while playing host to the state chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, on Tuesday in his palace.

Olubadan, who spoke through the Agba Akin Balogun of Ibadanland, Senior Chief Rafiu Onideure, said Ibadan would continue to appreciate the economic contributions of the Igbo not just in Ibadanland but in the state and Nigeria as a whole.

“I implore you to continue with your business, social and religious activities peacefully and lawfully at all times as you have done in the past for the progress of Ibadanland.

The contributions of the Igbos to commerce, trade and business in Ibadanland is worthy of commendation and well appreciated by all and sundry as it is a significant contributor to the Oyo State economy and by extension our nation

want to enjoin other non-indigenes in Ibadan to emulate the good gesture of members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo in extending the hand of friendship and fellowship to Ibadan indigenes.”

Earlier, the Coordinator of the group, Tallest Innocent, who doubles as the Special Assistant, Community Relations to Governor Seyi Makinde, expressed his gratitude to the Olubadan and the Oba-In Council for the warm reception accorded them during the visit.

Apart from paying this visit, they were at the palace to introduce the newly elected executives of the state chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide to His Imperial Majesty.”

He appreciated the monarch’s support before, during and after the peaceful process plus the inclusive governance approach of the traditional stool.

Nonsense comment!

So, you think Olubadan would say anything pleasing to your ears and not mean it? You overrate yourself

Have you seen or met Igbos in other SW states aside Lagos?

You'd never even know they arent Yoruba. They've so much integrated seamlessly into the people that by default, no one walks about thinking the other guys isnt part of them. Really commendable

Its just contributions and other tribes aside Igbos are doing that too.

If Igbos get a special mention, its because their numbers trump the other tribe by far(being a major tribe) and thats fine

No state or province in the world is solely built by the indigenes. Thats a fact

Pardon my assertions, but we Igbo have learned never to trust Yoruba because not even Yoruba trusts Yoruba. Hopefully, it'll get better.
