In a historic ceremony, President Bola Tinubu’s Aide-De-Camp, Lt Col. Nurudeen Yusuf, has been appointed the new Elemona of Ilemona land in Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria.
Following the passing of his father, the former Elemona, in May, the community’s kingmakers selected Lt Col. Yusuf as their new traditional ruler, recognizing his kindness and humanitarian efforts within the community.
After receiving authorization from the Nigerian Army and approval from the Kwara State Governor and Traditional Council of Chiefs, Lt Col. Yusuf will be officially presented with his staff of office by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
As the new Elemona of Ilemona land, Oba Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, Fiwadade Ilufemiloye Oyekanmi II, will appoint regents to manage the throne until his retirement from military service. This unique combination of traditional and military leadership signifies a new chapter in Ilemona’s history, with the President’s ADC now serving his community in a new capacity.
