The royal fathers, in a rare and symbolic move, personally funded the form, marking the first time in the council’s history that monarchs have taken such a step. The presentation, held at the Council Secretariat, was a powerful endorsement of Anomo’s leadership, with the kings praising his remarkable achievements in education, healthcare, infrastructure, youth empowerment, and peace-building.
The monarchs also extended their support to Anomo’s deputy, Alhaji Wasiu Dehinsilu, acknowledging his dedication and teamwork in driving the administration’s success.
