A lot of good development has been coming into the Ajah environment since they installed him as the Baale.
“And by the special grace of God, we are appealing to the government to install him as Oba in due time.
“So that more progress will come into the Ajah axis. I also appreciate the people of Ajah who have been rallying around him almost every time. Look at him, it’s just a birthday. Look at the celebration. Look at the joy. He is a man who has a vision, mission, and passion for his people,” he said.
