The Onigba Descendants noted that they are proud of the Mogaji.
The extended family, in a congratulatory letter addressed to the Mogaji, described him as a good ambassador of the family.
The extended family said, "Mogaji Abayomi Gbadamosi, JP of Ile Onigba, Idi Arere, Ibadan. In the cool shade where market voices meet. You stand with a steady palm, a measured beat. Keeper of oaths, where truth and mercy blend. A calm that mends what hurried hearts would rend.
"You wear the village’s trust like morning light. Turning small disputes into peace before nightfall. With a patient tongue and eyes that read the soul. You stitch the torn and make the broken wall.
"From the compound gate to the lane where children play. Your name is spoken softly in thanks each day. A pillar carved from duty, honour, and care. A justice shaped by service, plain and fair. May years grant wisdom deeper than your years. May every verdict dry a household’s tears. Ile Onigba sings your praise in a humble voice. Long live the peace you keep; long be your choice".
