Oba (Dr) Oyelude, CON: Personal Attributes

His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr) Hammed Adekunle Makama Oyelude (Tegbosun III), CON, is the Olowu of Kuta Kingdom.

He is the Permanent Chairman of the Supreme Royal Council of all Owu Obas snd Chiefs in Yoruba land, (which consists of 43 Kingdoms of Owu Obas, with 17 First-Class Royal Fathers and 113 Chiefs and Magajis; of Kingdoms and Chiefdoms across Osun, Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, Lagos; and parts of the Republic of Benin, among others in the Diaspora). 

A First-Class Traditional Ruler and Member of the Osun State Council of Obas, the Oba Oyelude, CON, was born in 1964 at Kuta. His parents were the direct descendants of the Founder of Kuta Kingdom, Anlugbua. 

He ascended the throne of his forefathers on the 15th of September, 2012.

Oba (Dr) Adekunle Oyelude is a highly detribalised Nigerian and a pro-estabishment nationalist of repute. 

He is a man of integrity who is able to adapt and integrate ideas effectively in solving business and communal problems. He has the ability to work as a team player with effective leadership qualities, work under pressure, as an achievement-driven professional and a fast learner of new ideas.

Other mortals with such an intimidating profile of achievements would swagger with such superlative pomposity that the imperial Nero would be cowed before them. But true to his nature, he has always demonstrated that true royalty is not living in vain pomp but in great virtues adorned with humility.

HRM Dr Oyelude, CON, is a superior gentleman who is modest in speech but irrepressible in his actions. His transformation of Owu-Kuta Kingdom, based on his capacity to harness the assistance of friends and well-wishers; his diplomatic engineering of his people; his tireless efforts at persuading and winning over known detractors are special gifts that God endowed him with.
