Last week, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Aare Akorewolu by the Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti, Oba Adeola Ajakaiye.
In the last one year, Iyin has undergone tremendous changes. Power has been a problem all over Nigeria, Ekiti State is not spared. During Easter this year, Kabiyesi said he had a quick fix or solution to blackout, I was even wondering how he would go about it; of course the community does not have such money, but he used his connections with friends – all indigenes of Iyin – and within two weeks, the whole town was lit with solar-powered streetlight without Iyin people contributing a dime.
Is this why the Oba of Iyin Ekiti gave Senate President a chieftaincy title recently?
