Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has applauded the Ondo State Governor, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for appointing a civil rights activist and lawyer, Kayode Ajulo (SAN) as one of his commissioner-nominees in the state, describing the appointment as well deserved, and the best decision that could help in actualizing the governor’s vision for the state.
It would be recalled that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, had, last week named Kayode Ajulo (SAN) and five others as commissioner-nominees and forwarded their names to the Ondo State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
Iba Adams said this in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr Kehinde Aderemi, pointing out that the commissioner-nominee had made a remarkable impact in the legal profession and had what it takes to change the course of history in Ondo State.
The Yoruba generalissimo, while hailing the appointment, noted that the state had just lost Arakurin Rotimi Akeredolu, the immediate past governor whom he described as one of the brilliant sons and a senior advocate, noting that the appointment of Ajulo would open a new vista of hope for the people of the state.
“I believe strongly that Mr Kayode Ajulo (SAN) would do his very best in advancing the dreams of the state.
“I appreciate the governor for this bold initiative. Barrister Kayode Ajulo’s appointment as one of the commissioners in Ondo State is well deserved and I believe without doubt that Ajulo will do everything that is possible to add value to public service in Ondo State,” Adams stated.
“Ajulo’s appointment came just a few months after he became the Senior Advocate of Nigeria. It was a new challenge and opportunity for the Ondo State-born Senior Advocate of Nigeria to key into the vision of the governor and bring about the best in service delivery.
“Barrister Kayode Ajulo is a result-oriented person and he is very blunt and courageous. He is a worthy ambassador of the legal profession and Ondo state would benefit from his wealth of experiences.
“From his antecedents, Kayode Ajulo (SAN) has distinguished himself as a successful lawyer and a worthy son of Ondo State and the governor has done well by identifying such a success-driven personality with a big ambition to make a difference in the state.
“Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa saw the need to make Ondo State the leading state in the South West, and with the appointment of Barrister Kayode Ajulo (SAN), the son of the soil from Ifira Akoko, as one of the newly appointed commissioners in the state, I know Ondo State, which, of course is my state, will be better for it,” he added.
