IPETUMODU DAY 2023: Our Town, Our Responsibilities. I am glad to celebrate with my Royal father, His Royal Majesty, Oba. Prof. Joseph Oloyede, (Latimogun 1) Apetumodu of Ipetumodu and all the sons and daughters of Ipetumodu on the occasion of the 29th Ipetumodu Day celebration. Since your ascension to the throne of your forefathers, you have shown that royalty must concern itself with the yearnings of the people under your rulership. Kabiyesi, you have an open arm that facilitates progress, peace, and a pathway of monumental developments in our town in all sectors both state, federal, and across the globe. In total support of the sterling successes that your reign has recorded, I want to urge all the members of the Ipetumodu Progressive Union, Ipetumodu Development Forum, Great Ipetumodu Youth Movement, and other sister associations, religious leaders, young and old, men, and women to prioritize the development of our ancestral town. Beyond prioritization, we all must strive to be good ambassadors of Ipetumodu and by extension, Ife North. We must take responsibility for the progress of our town. The future is bright.
