“Baba, this award does not only depict your place as a First-Class Traditional Ruler in Nigeria, but also define your personality as someone who did not just come to fill a role but to use it as a launch pad to drive National transformation and attract Direct Foreign Investment (FDI) as can be seen from your various trips abroad.

“Your Majesty, going through Nigeria's history, it is note-worthy to state that with this award today, your name will go down in Nigeria's history as not only the youngest Traditional Ruler to be conferred with this honour, but also the youngest Nigerian to be so honoured.
