AN ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HIS ROYAL MAJESTY OBA EMMANUEL ADEBOWALE ADEBAYO (FCIA,JP) ELEMURE OF EMURE EKITI ON THE OCCASION OF INAUGURATION OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE/SUB COMMITTEES OF THE ADASSA-ADUMORI FOUNDATION INC ON EMURE EKITI DEVELOPMENT, TODAY 7th  MAY 2009.

Protocols

The Chairman Emure Local Government,

The President Emure National Council,

Members of the Traditional Council,

My Lords Spiritual and Temporal

Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

On behalf of myself and the entire members of Adassa-Adumori Inc, based in United States of America, I welcome you to the inauguration ceremony of the Steering Committee/Sub-Committee to facilitate the success of the vision, mission and assistance of the organization on Emure development.

 

A generational era is in the pipeline, history is being made and some people by providence are writing their name in gold, leaving legacies and indelible marks in the sand of time.

 

I make bold to state that what is happening in Emure Kingdom today marks the beginning of God’s purposed heavenly order being hatched on earth. Someone may ask if there had been any prophetic revelation that a new Emure would come to reality in any future to come, I can state categorically that I never met such record in the Palace.

However, here we are today to witness the inauguration of the Steering Committee and Sub-Committees that will pilot a life long project initiated by Dr. (Mrs.) Funmi Hancock, a worthy, humble and patriotic daughter of the land who is whole heartedly committed to a God-inspired course in the company of people of like minds that a vision must be realized to kick start a programme of events for Emure Kingdom.

 

Permit me to trace briefly how Adassa-Adumori Foundation came on board. During my coronation ceremony and presentation of staff of office on 2nd February 2008 at Elemure’s Palace, I made a deep hearted and down-to– earth speech on my vision for Emure Kingdom before an unprecedented crowd that Emure people had never witnessed in the past.

 

The speech ignited a fire, potentially seated in the spirit of Princess (Dr.) Funmi Ogunleye Hancock and she quickly seized the opportunity of a life time. What happened there after is now part of history.      

 

I want to charge members of the Steering Committee and the various Sub-Committees to carry the same spirit and if possible, more of Princess (Dr.) Funmi Ogunleye Hancock on this voyage. We cannot afford to fail. The challenges are enormous but the reward is heavenly and sweet as instruments in the hand of God Almighty for the development of Emure Kingdom that generations unborn would admire in the history of a people.

 

The Steering Committee is the apex Committee. Its functions are to plan and oversee the implementation of all the projects and ensure accountability at all levels.
