Ajani Anibijuwon Omisore

Lowa Ajani Anibijuwon Omisore (c. 1841 – 18 March 1941) was a Yoruba aristocratic chief in Ife, British Nigeria who founded the town of Ayepe-Olode and founded the Omisore dynasty. He was granted the title of Lowa by Ooni (King) Adelekan Olubuse I of Ife, making him second-in-command to the Ooni. He subsequently served as a regent and a kingmaker in Ife, crowning Ademiluyi Ajagun and Adesoji Aderemi as Ooni.

Renovation of Ife Adelekan Olubuse I, the 46th Ooni of Ife, granted Omisore the chieftaincy title of Lowa, thus giving him great power and influence in Ife. Ooni Ademiluyi Ajagun desired a series of road networks that would connect Ife with neighbouring major towns. Omisore was appointed to lead a group of able-bodied youths from different Ife compounds to construct several intercity and intracity roads such as Ife-Ede road, Ife-Ondo road, and several township streets, which still exist in Ife today. His construction and engineering efforts earned him prestige and recognition as Lowa.

In 1925, Ross again wrote about Omisore: Omisore was the father of Oba David Olajide Omisore and the grandfather of Nigerian politician Iyiola Omisore, who served as Deputy Governor and senator of Osun State.
