Kingmakers caution group over Ibese Obaship tussle

KINGMAKERS in Ibese Community in Yewa North Local Council of Ogun State have warned a group, Advocacy for Advancement of Peace and Harmony in Africa Initiative ( ADAPHAI), to steer clear of the Obaship tussle in the community.

Recall that the group, led by one Comrade Sulaimon Suberu had petitioned Governor Dapo Abiodun and Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Taiwo Oluomo on the kingship issue.

The group claimed that some government officials are working in connivance with certain individuals in the town to scuttle the primordial arrangement of kingship and pattern of ascendancy in the town by imposing a wrong candidate.

The group said the next ruling house - Olokojobi had unanimously presented a suitable candidate, according to the extant law and in line with the dictates of Ifa oracle, in the person of Idowu Abdulazeez Adedimeji, alleging that the popular candidate was later changed unilaterally by the kingmakers and replaced with one Prince Rotimi Mulero, which triggered protests and violent agitation in the town.
