Speaking during the visit, Kabiyesi Alagooja appreciated Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi for his outstanding philanthropic gestures and remarkable contributions towards the development of Yorubaland and humanity at large.

The monarch expressed his desire to see transformational investments such as the gigantic Ilaji Resort replicated in Ago Oja Kingdom for the benefit of the people and economic growth of the area.
Kabiyesi further charged Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi to help him once again appreciate Seyi Makinde, particularly for restoring the lost glory of Ago Oja Kingdom after over 270 years through the official recognition and crowning of the Alagooja stool by the Oyo State Government.
In his remarks, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi congratulated His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulganiyu Ajiboye Busari Arogundade II, on his official crowning and recognition by the Oyo State Government.
