Chief Sunday Dare said Oba Olaoye thanked and appreciated members for accepting to serve on the committee and taking the time to attend the inauguration.
The royal father charged the committee to organise and execute a programme that would leave an indelible mark in the history of Ogbomosoland.
The traditional ruler further charged the members to work harmoniously and foster mutual respect to ensure the day succeeds.
In his acceptance speech, the Central Coronation Planning Committee (CCPC) Chairman, DG FRIN Professor Adeshola Adepoju, urged members of the committee to do their best to ensure the coronation record success.
He urged sons and daughters of Ogbomosoland at home and abroad and friends to support the new traditional ruler in bringing more development to Ogbomoso.
He added, “We are assuring Kabiyesi that we are going to set standards that people in the south-west region of Nigeria will emulate.
The development of Ogbomosoland is our collective responsibility; hence, we must all cooperate with His Imperial Majesty.
“We are all part of this because we want to incorporate the installation of His Imperial Majesty as a standard that will be a reference point.
“I, therefore, urge all committee members to work together without infighting, which could stand as a cog in the wheel of progress.”
The coronation, according to the statement, is scheduled for December, for which a date will be picked by the Oyo state government.
Other leaders of the 36-member committee are AVM (Rtd) Bolaji Adigun as Co-Chairman, while Rear Admiral (rtd) Jacob Ajani will serve as the Secretary-General.
