Osun Traditional Council Beg Adeleke To Rescind Executive Order On Suspended Monarchs

Two Traditional Council in Osun State has appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to repeal the executive order on the suspension of some monarchs by  his government.

Adeleke, upon resumption of office, had issued an executive order, directing the traditional rulers installed by former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola prior to his exit, to vacate their palaces.

Those affected were the  Owa of Igbajo, Aree of Iree, and Akinrun of Ikirun. The governor ordered an investigation into their emergence s monarchs.

he Iwo traditional council stated that the order also affected Olupo, Alawuje, and Alaya in the Iwo council and appealed to the governor to rescind the order.

he council headed by Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdurosheed Akanbi, commended Adeleke for his achievements in 100 days, saying his governance has brought hope to the people of the state through dividends of democracy.

“We have felt his government and governance in road construction, potable water, rural electrification,  medical outreach flagged off in Iwo, millions of naira for small scale businesses and payment of salary arrears. He is God sent to the good people of Osun State. We pray for a successful tenure in office for him.

“We call on governor Adeleke to suspend his executive order on some monarchs in Osun state. The order is tantamount to slowing down the monarchical administration of the affected cities. We appeal to Governor Adeleke to return the full paraphernalia of kingship and honour to the Iwo Traditional Council by suspending the order. The affected monarchs are not too pleased. Even with salary, monarchs are striving to survive. And we don’t want our traditional rulers to engage in land grabbing/sales. We beg your good office to consider our plea by granting our modest request,” the council said.
