Kingship: Otun-Ekiti Youths Raise Alarm Over Deadly Consequences of Installation Wrong Candidate

Otun-Ekiti Youth Forum has raised alarm on consequences of imposing or selecting wrong candidate for vacant stool of Oore of Mobaland by kingmakers in the ancient town.

The Chairman of Otun-Ekiti Youth Forum, Comrade Sunday Adebayo in a statement issued on Friday said the Oracle has predicted imminent death of youths in the Otun-Ekiti, if the kingmakers fail to follow due process in selection of new king.

They expressed worry that lives of innocent youths who were not involved in purported selection of Prince Adekunle Adeagbo might in danger for inactions and actions of selfish elements within and outside Otun-Ekiti.

Otun-Ekiti Youth Forum noted that two out five kingmakers: Obanla, Chief James Odeniyi and Obajemu, Chief Akanni Atolagbe placed active role in purported selection of Prince Adekunle Adeagbo as new king while Obaaro, Chief Sunday Olajide Asuribi refused to participate in the fault process, despite attending meeting held at Obanla residence as against Idi-egun. They added other traditional chiefs expected to monitor the process were sidelined.

The Youth said precedents in the ancient town indicate that noncompliance with traditions and customs once led to *One day king* or short reign of the beneficiary.

According to them, Inline with tradition and Otun-Ekiti 1961 Declaration, five kingmakers namely; Obanla, Obajemu, Obaaro, Obanurin and Obalotin are expected to meet, consult Ifa Oracle for determination of Oore at Idi-egun near odo oja and therefore present the selected candidate to State Governor for ratification.

The people of Otun-Ekiti in Moba local government area therefore urged Governor Kayode Fayemi not to honor any list from the shabby selection process and order for fresh one in full compliance with Otun Declaration, customs and tradition in the interest of peace and tranquility.

They however stated that all the seven Princes nominated by Ile-Iyaba Ruling House are eminently qualified but insist that kingmakers must follow due process to select new Oore of Mobaland.
