Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has congratulated the Member representing Yewa North/Imeko-Afon Federal constituency, Hon. Gboyega Nasir Isiaka on his turbaning and conferment as the 3rd Seriki Adinni of Yewaland, urging him to use the position to strengthen the unity and spiritual growth of Muslims in Yewaland. 

The Governor who made this known in his address at the turbaning ceremony held at Ansarudeen praying ground in Imeko-Afon, also described him as a patriotic and respected politician, saying the recognition by Muslims in Yewa community was timely and richly deserved.

According to him 'GNI as he is fondly called has consistently exemplified humility, integrity, discipline and strength that command respect across all works of life both at the National Assembly, private enterprise and within the Muslim Umar'.   

"Hon. Isiaka has remained a dignified ambassador of Imeko, Yewaland and Ogun West, principled and always committed to the progress of his people. 

As Seriki Adinni I have no doubt that you will bring the same quality to strengthen the unity and spiritual growth of the yewa muslim community" he said  

While saying the honour was not just a recognition of personal merit but rather a call to duty and deeper service, he implored him to embrace it wholeheartedly with Grace and sincerity.

Governor Abiodun also commended his wife and families for their sacrifice and steadfast support, saying behind every effective leader was a family that believes, support and shares with the journey.

In his sermon, Sheik Tajudeen Olaotan, said Seriki was one of the biggest Islamic title and the turbaning of Hon. Isiaka was divine, charging him to brace up for the task ahead, be determined and focus, as there was no position without challenges. 

He also urged the new Seriki to work towards uniting Umar in Yewaland, embrace human capital development, by empowering Yewa people educationally, build infrastructural development particularly renovation and building of Mosques, empowering the Imams as custodians of religion.
