Oba Dada, in his speech, read by the secretary of Egosi Descendants Union (EDU) Mr Dele Ashaolu, noted that Oba Ogunwusi had, by such efforts demonstrated his true identity as a child of history and legitimate son of Oduduwa, the father of Yoruba.

The royal father said the recent appointment of Oba Ogunwusi as the new Chancellor of University of Nigeria Nsukka, by the Federal Government, was also a good pointer and testimonies of more goodies awaiting the Yoruba race.

Oba Dada, who claimed that their forebears were direct descendants from Ife, described the visit the second of its kind by the people of the community as a homecoming.

Dada said the community had been maintaining constant and cordial relationship with Ife, saying that the community had in no small measure benefited immensely from Ife's tourism, cultural and socio-economic potentialities.

"In Egosi, our interpretation of this development is that you are really living up to the connotation of your name "Eni-itan -which means a man of history," he said.
