 Fifteen traditional rulers in Ayedade, Irewole, Isokan and Ife North Local Government Areas of Osun State yesterday stormed the Osogbo office of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to protest power outage in their communities. The traditional rulers, led by the Olufi of Gbongan, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi Odugbemi, lamented that their towns have been in darkness for several months and demanded immediate restoration of power. They said youths of their various domains threatened to attack their palaces if they fail to do something about the problem. They insisted that they would not go back to their various palaces without a promise from the power holding company to restore power to their communities. The communities include; Ikire, Apomu, Ikoyi, Odeyinka, Orile-Owu, Araromi-Owu, Gbongan,Akiriboto Oke, Akiriboto Isale, Oluwada,Wakajaye, Ogbaaga, Ode-Omu, Oogi, Tonkere, Lasole, Edunabon,Maro, Yakoyo, Ipetumodu, Ashipa and Akinlalu. The Olufi of Gbongan lamented that they wrote to the company on November 7, over the issue but that they did not receive any response. He lamented that businesses of many residents in the communities, especially those of artisans have suffered adversely due to lack of electricity. He said: “The youths don’t believe us anymore. They think we are doing nothing about the situation and soon they could go crazy if the problem is not addressed.” The IBEDC Regional Technical Manager for Osogbo, Engineer Salami Waheed, pleaded with the traditional rulers to pacify their subjects, saying power outage in the areas was not deliberate. He attributed the problem to an explosion at the Ife station. The Principal Manager of the Transmission Company of Nigeria in Osogbo office, Mr. Ade Odukale, assured that before end of the week, power would be restored to the affected areas. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/osun-traditional-rulers-protest-power-outage/120212.html |
