After his installation, the new Aare visited the Ijo Orunmila Adulawo shrine in Ebute Meta, Lagos, as part of activities to praise God for the successful event.
In his sermon, chief priest Awodiran Agboola welcomed Adams and his entourage to Ijo Orunmila Adulawo while also describing the Aare Ona Kakanfo as a symbol of peace. He urged him to continually preach peace and unity across the country.
