The Aree-elect of Iree in Boripe local government area of Osun state, Prince Muritala Oyinlakin, has stated that he intends to be a servant leader who will elevate Iree to an admirable position among communities in Osun.
Addressing newsmen at his private residence in Ilorin, the Kwara State Capital on Tuesday, the Aree-elect emphasized that his primary objective is to facilitate the swift development of the town.
In his words, “I can assure my people that by God’s grace, we are taking Iree to an enviable height among communities in the state because Iree has what it takes, People talk about seven hills in Iree but for my reign, we are looking beyond what ordinary people see about Iree Alalubosa”.
The traditional ruler-elect called on the three tiers of government to support the transformation of the ancient town by revitalizing the dilapidated facilities of both the state and federal government.
“Iree lacked behind in the past in the form of development. Look at our town, Iree is blessed with tourist attraction sites. So, we crave development more than what we have presently. I believe my reign will usher in a very rapid transformation within a very short time, by the grace of God.
