The prestigious traditional ceremony, held on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at the palace of the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, CFR, attracted an array of dignitaries, including political leaders, traditional rulers, senior public officials, legal practitioners and business executives.

The installation marked a significant moment in the traditional and cultural life of Remoland, as Ogunsanya formally assumed the prestigious title of Odofin, conferred within the traditional institution headed by the Akarigbo.
Ogunsanya is a distinguished legal practitioner and corporate executive whose career spans the legal profession and Nigeria’s media and entertainment industry. As Chairman of MultiChoice Nigeria, he has played a prominent role in the corporate sector, particularly in the country’s pay television and entertainment business.
His elevation to the position of Odofin of Remoland represents a recognition of his standing in society and his place within the traditional structure of the Remo community.
The ceremony also highlighted the enduring significance of traditional institutions in preserving Yoruba cultural heritage, strengthening community bonds and recognising individuals who have attained distinction in their respective professions and public engagements.
Across Yorubaland, traditional titles remain an important aspect of cultural identity and community leadership, providing a platform for distinguished sons and daughters to contribute to the development of their communities while upholding longstanding customs and traditions.
Adeola’s attendance at the ceremony brought together political leadership and traditional authority at an event celebrating Remoland’s heritage and the installation of one of its prominent personalities into a revered traditional position.
