– Steve Ovirih.
Ikale World Congress ( IWC) has received special recognition and appreciation from the highest Judicial Officer in Ondo State for taking it upon themselves to put resources together to start and complete the rehabilitation work on the second phase of the High Court Complex in Okitipupa Judicial Division.
The Ondo State Chief Judge , Hon. Justice Williams Akinrotoye did not hide his admiration for the contributory effort of Ikale World Congress, ( IWC) a body of Nigerians of Ikale extraction , who are based abroad. The no 1 Judge in Ondo State Judiciary , Williams Akinrotoye said the Ikales in The Disapora have shown a compassionate support for their Ikale homestead and did not blindside home and the challenges of their people even when they are living in their respective comforts overseas. Going scriptural , the top ranking Member of the Bench said the Lord has made IWC like the Zerubbabel of the ancient times , whom the Lord strenghtened to start and complete the gargantuan rebuilding project.
Justice Akinrotoye noted that Ikale World Congress has assisted in restoring the pride of Okitipupa Judicial Division which the Endsars protesters deemed when they extended their arson to the Sacred Temple of Justice in Okitipupa among other high profile public facilities destroyed in 2020. He called on Ikale elders to be wary of mix bred youths in the town , stressing that no full blooded Ikale youth would involve in the massive destruction of public property as seen during the Endsars protest, charging parents to always teach their children right at all times.
The Abodi of Ikaleland , His Royal Majesty, Oba George Babatunde Faduyile , speaking on behalf of Ikale Royal fathers , thanked profusely all the members of Ikale World Congress, IWC , using their President , Chief Dayo Ayebo as a point of contact. The monarch said the contribution of IWC to the growth of Ikale nation cannot be overemphasized as the body of Diasporans has made tremendous impact and they are making indelible marks that will stand the test of time and history will be kind to them.
Abodi frowned at hooliganism , noting that the Endsars protest went out of hand because hoodlums hijacked it and the destruction of public facility put the land in bad lght, hence the need for all Ikales of good conscience to collectively appreciate the kind gesture of IWC for reconstructing the court which was already in rubbles .
Justice Williams Akinrotoye who was accompanied by his Judge colleagues, Justice Peter Ikujuni, Justice Adedipe and Ondo State Chief Registrar , Mrs Bolatito , cut the tape and declared the Court for use for court activities .
