The entire Muslim Community in the ancient town of Emure-Ile has congratulated Prince Bankole Adeyefa, the New Elemure of Emure-Ile Kingdom as he ascends the throne of his forebears.
In a congratulatory message made available to Abejoye Media News which was personally signed by the Alh. Bedou Babatunde Ijawoye, the Chief Imam of the Community on behalf of the entire Council of Imams and Alfas, Prince Bankole was described as a man of integrity who prioritizes Allah beyond all things. The letter reads in part:
" We congratulate you Kabiyesi on this rare feat. You have demonstrated responsibility and responsiveness in leadership with your numerous investment in human and capital resources in Emure-Ile Kingdom and beyond. We acknowledge your philanthropical gesture to the entire Muslim Community through your kindness at all times to us. This is nothing but a toga of selfless service and commitment to your root. Thank you for your support and encouragement all the times."
" It's our belief that your reign shall continue to usher in peace, growth and progress to Emure-Ile as you are a man of peace and a worthy pathfinder and ambassador of the kingdom as a prince. However, we admonish you to run open and all inclusive administration that will give all critical stakeholders the sense of belonging required to fuel the Renewed Emure-Ile Transformation Agenda in the collective dreams and aspirations of the founding fathers of the kingdom and all illustrious sons and daughters of the kingdom. "
They also used the opportunity to demand for due priority as Islam has played critical roles in ensuring peace and unity, growth and progress in Emure-Ile since 1833 under the leadership of Late Imam Alasoodu as the first Imam. " Our great desire as a community is that the Muslims should be accorded all the due respect they deserve especially during Sallah Celebrations and community management. We have consistently be at the front burner of community integration through our responsible initiatives and numerous support. This time around, our joy is that you will intensify your efforts earlier demonstrated to keep Muslim Community as a partner in progress."
The Muslim Community later prayed for the Elemure-Elect and the kingdom."Once again, congratulations Oba Ajaloron. We pray to Allah ( SAW) to gift you with a sound health, long life and prosperity on the throne. May posterity bless your reign and we pray that God Almighty bless you bountifully with wisdom, knowledge and understanding required to evolve an integrated community and place Emure-Ile Kingdom on the pedestal of greatness and reckoning where she will not be hidden to the entire world.
