The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin has congratulated his Mother, High Chief Justina Ogundoyin on her installation as the Iya-Oloja-General of Ibarapaland.

Chief Mrs. Justina Ogundoyin is wife to the late philanthropist, Chief Adeseun Ogundoyin, and a Princess from the Anyakudo royal family lineage of Orlu Local Government in Imo State, who has identified herself with the people of Ibarapaland and of course, Oyo State.

Speaking with journalists at the event, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin described his mother as a rare gem, who is highly respected and associated with the people of Ibarapaland despite losing her husband (who is a great Ibarapa icon) twenty-nine years ago.
