The ability of the Olona to usher in unprecedented peace and tranquility into the community in his two years reign is an indication of his astuteness as a practioner of what he has been teaching. As in white rose piercing through the labyrinth of concrete slabs or the daring mushroom that pervorates the motionless eternity of earth, forcing clearly, but stubbornly through faint form, till the hour of resourcefulness strikes, Oba Dr. Oyetunde Olumuyiwa Ojo has flourished in his barely two years on the throne of his forefathers. As a trail blazer, he has been able to till the tick darkness of endeavour, on whose cliff flowery deeds sprout and the carnations of light, has overwhelmed the contemptible drought of the night. HRM Oba Dr. Olumuyiwa Ojo might just be the answer to Ada community’s desire for paradigm shift in traditional leadership. He is married to Olori Florence Oluwatoyin Ojo (nee Olaniyi) and Olori Veronica Omojaiye Ojo (nee Jegede) and are blessed with children. His hobbies are watching soccer and playing golf.
