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.

INEC'S INTENDED OSUN TEMPLATE BUSTED BY THE UNITED STATES Nigerians should be grateful to the United States for saving our democracy today. This is why the party in power got frustrated about the international communities interference at one point and threatened “body bags” because they know, “Americans would know”. We are a sovereign state, agreed, but there was nothing Nigerians would have done tonight to prevent Mohammadu Buhari from rigging this election, if not for the intervention of the USA.
