The Lowa-Adimula of Ife Kingdom, High Chief Adekola Adeyeye has said that the land of Ife has the enough potentials to transform the state economy if properly harnessed.

Chief Adeyeye stated this on Wednesday during the visit by the State Governor, Isiaq Adegboyega Oyetola to Ife as part of his state-wide strategic engagement tour following his official declaration to race for a second term in office as Governor of the state.

Chief Lowa who particularly emphasized on the tourism assets of the City and by extension the Ife Kingdom said the state Government can be generating sufficient revenue to run the state if these potentials are given the necessary attention they deserve.

"All the money you are looking for is here in Ife, It is in our tourism. We only need government to come and develop it. It has the potentials to generate substantial revenue more than what you can think of in any other sectors" the High Chief said.

Governor Oyetola in his address noted that his visit was although to officially convey his decision for a re-election and to warm up party loyalists and leaders in the community ahead of the February 19, 2022 APC primaries but deemed it fit to first seek Royal blessings from the Ile Oodua, the palace of the Arole Oduduwa, the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II who was unavoidably absent at the occasion.

The Governor who visited the Area Office at Modakeke before proceeding to Enuwa square, Ile-Ife where he was warmly received by the royalties, party loyalists, friends and well wishers from Ife East and Ife Central Local Governments assured the Ife people of his administration's continuous and well-deserved attention to the ancient city being the cradle and the source of the entire Yoruba race.

Also speaking, the Obalufe of Ife Kingdom, Oba Idowu Adediwura emphasized the important position the city of Ife occupies not just in Osun State, Nigeria but in the entire world. 

Oba Adediwura thanked the state Governor on behalf of the Ooni for his developmental projects so far in Ife and across the state over the last three years but urged them to do more. 

The monarch majored on the road networks in the city which he said need attention, pointing more specifically at the ongoing road projects including the Ede road down to Road 7, among others.

Governor Oyetola had on Tuesday flagged of the state-wide strategic engagement tour tagged "Have You In Mind Always" after formally receiving the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms from friends and political associates who had earlier bought the forms for him to seek for a re-election in the forthcoming July 16, 2022 governorship election in the state by visiting Irewole, Isokan and Ayedaade Local Government Councils.

Governor Oyetola and his entourage which included Osun state first lady, Khafayat Oyetola, Deputy Governor, Mr. Gboyega Alabi, Wife of Deputy Governor, Oyefunke Alabi, Majority Leader Osun state House of Assembly, Hon. Marouf Olanrewaju among others were received by prominent APC leaders in Ife Federal Constituency which included former Deputy Governors Senator Otunba Iyiola Omisore , Sooko Adeleke Adewoyin, Senator Babajide Omoworare, Engr.
