Speaking during the installation of some Mogajis at the Popoyemoja Palace, Oba Adetunji charged those installed to see the gesture as a challenge to do more for their homeland and refrain from an act that could truncate the peace being enjoyed in Ibadan.

''I want to congratulate you all but this is a challenge to you all to continue to work for peace and progress of Ibadan. What we need is a harmonious relationship for us to have rapid socio-economic development'' he said.
