“Congratulations to me as the journey of 6 years in secondary school finally ended today thankful to God Almighty, my parents, my sisters, my chiefs, my friends, well-wishers, and the entire citizens of Okeluse Kingdom for all the support everyone of you has rendered throughout the 6years of being in a boarding school,” he wrote.
“My journey into adulthood begins now with the numerous tasks ahead of me and I implore every single lover out there to support me as I can’t do this alone.
“I will continue to strive for the development of my kingdom, my people, and elevating the stool of my forefathers into greatness. HRM Oba Oloyede Adeyeoba Akinghare 11, Arujale, Ojoma of Okelude, Kingdom.”
