The Arole Oodua Olofin Adimula and Natural Father of the Yoruba race, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Adeoye Abefe fondly called Awikonko Akanda Oro as he celebrates his golden jubilee at 50.
Adeoye Abefe is a shining symbol of Yoruba cultural pride, an indomitable voice of the people, and a committed custodian of tradition whose journey has remained an inspiration to generations. “Marking 50 years is not just about the passage of time, but about the legacy of impact.
Awikonko has used his God given talent and unique voice to uphold the values of truth, justice, culture, and entertainment, becoming a beacon of light within our race(House of Oduduwa).
His resilience, consistency, and commitment to giving culture a strong media voice, thereby making his name to become synonymous with courage and truth speaking.
For decades, he has stood tall like the proverbial Iroko tree, a voice of the masses, a defender of the downtrodden, and an unshakable cultural ambassador of not just Yoruba land but also across the entire Oduduwa race globally. At 50, he remains a global hero of words, wit, and wisdom.
On behalf of the House of Oduduwa, Ooni prays for Awikonko that longevity, peace, prosperity shall be his portion as he celebrates his 50th birthday.
Ooni uses this opportunity to charge Adeoye Abefe to continue to deploy his rare gift of expression for the upliftment of society and the preservation of our culture and traditions throughout Yoruba nation, Odudwa race and African continent.
May this milestone ushers you into greater seasons of grace and relevance. You are a cultural warrior, and today we celebrate you as Akanda Oro indeed.
Igba Odun, Odun kan ni!
Afon a gbo, ko to wo!
ORI en a kan’ke!
