A photograph of the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, receiving the then Military Governor of Western Nigeria, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, at his royal residence in Ijebu Ode in 1966.
The occasion formed part of Colonel Adebayo’s official visit to Ijebu Province, at a time when Nigeria was under military rule following the political upheavals of that year. Dressed in military uniform, the governor is seen exchanging greetings with the Awujale, who appears in full traditional regalia, symbolizing the continuity of indigenous authority amid the new military administration. Other military officers are visible in the background, underscoring the presence and influence of the military government during this period.
