Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his congratulations to Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for resolving the 8-year deadlock in the selection process for the new Oba Aresa-Adu of Iresa-Adu in Surulere Local Government. In a written letter, Obasanjo commended the successful selection of Prince Adebayo Kayode, popularly known as 'Prince Adebayo of Iresa', as the Oba Designate.

The governor's administration took prompt action upon reviewing all judicial processes related to the matter. The selection process, held within the town's Local Government secretariat, witnessed a large gathering of Emiolu Royal Family members and members of the general public. Following the selection, Prince Kayode arrived in Iresa-Adu and was greeted with immense enthusiasm as he made his way to his family compound.

The community celebrated his arrival, chanting "adupe lowo Gomina wa o," which translates to "we thank our Governor." Mogaji of Emiolu Ruling House, Pa Prince Fowomola Julius Olanipekun, thanked Prince Kayode for his efforts in securing legal representation and funding the court case, which ultimately led to the judicial breakthrough for the Emiolu Ruling House.
