Obanla of Ipao Ekiti

-

 Ekiti State Government has given the kingmakers at Ipao-Ekiti in Ikole Local Government a 14-day ultimatum to fill the royal stool of Obanla, which has been vacant for four years.


Deputy Governor Bisi Egbeyemi gave the ultimatum yesterday at a meeting with the kingmakers in his office in Ado-Ekiti.


He expressed dismay that the town had been without a traditional ruler since 2016.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the former monarch, Oba Joseph Aina, who ascended the throne in 1962, joined his ancestors in 2016, after a 54-year reign.

The deputy governor said government would abide by the 1982 Ipao-Ekiti Chieftaincy gazette, stipulating that it was the turn of the Adesogan ruling house to produce the next monarch.


According to him, the development and progress of any town without a traditional ruler will be adversely affected, hence the need to fill the stool as early as possible.


Egbeyemi said the Dr. Kayode Fayemi-led administration was desirous of promptly filling vacant stools to ensure smooth running of communities and the need to give them direction at all times.

They marched in tens of thousands chanting "Enough is Enough" against police brutality and violence. The group's initial demands were for a notorious police unit known as the Special Anti Robbery Squad, or SARS, to be shut down, but the marches have since morphed into protests campaigning for police reform and an end to bad governance in the oil-rich country. {"uid":0.9623165168876744,"hostPeerName":"https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org","initialGeometry":"{\"windowCoords_t\":0,\"windowCoords_r\":360,\"...
