The Alaafin-elect’s technical proficiency and academic achievements underline his readiness to bridge the traditional values of Oyo Kingdom with modern governance and development strategies. His engineering expertise is expected to play a pivotal role in fostering infrastructural growth, innovation, and sustainable development within the ancient kingdom.

His ascension is expected to strengthen the historical ties and cultural pride of the Yoruba people while promoting peace and development across the region.
