Ladi Adebutu, a prominent politician and philanthropist, has been conferred with the highly revered chieftaincy title of Lisa Aje of Remoland by the Paramount Ruler of Remoland, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, CFR, Torungbuwa II. His wife was equally honoured with the title of Yeye Lisa Aje of Remoland.

“This honour, bestowed upon us by His Royal Majesty, the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, is one I deeply cherish and do not take for granted,” Adebutu said.

He extended heartfelt gratitude to Oba Babatunde Ajayi, the Remo Council of Obas, and the people of Remoland, pledging to remain steadfast in his commitment to the unity and prosperity of the land.

“To the good people of Remoland, e seun gan-an. This recognition is a call to greater service,” he added.
