He commended the fatherly role the Obano had been playing at piloting the affairs of his people, “which is so visible by the level of development so far recorded in your kingdom”.
Responding, Oba Owiniyi-Otitoleke, thanked the commissioner for the visit and pledged to support INEC towards a peaceful and successful 2023 general elections.
