Ijesa Muslims honour Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola  Ahmed Tinubu will  today  (Friday, February 17^t) be turbaned the new Agba-Akin Adinni of Ijesaland by the Ijesa Muslim Community.

At the occasion, to hold at Ilesa, Osun State, Alhaji Alao Arisekola, the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, would be chairman; while Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun State, would be the host governor.

The organisers said Asiwaju had satisfied the criteria for the turbanning, adding that an Agba-Akin Adinni must have demonstrated, among other things, an untiring love for his people; he must defend and guide them even at the risk of his own life; and he must play a unifying role, aside from being a counsellor and philanthropist.

Formerly called Baba Isale Adinni, the last person to hold the Ijesa Muslim title was Papa Salami Animashaun of Okeola, Ilesa.
