The representative of IADU, Mr. Ezekiel Ogunponmile (Franco) also reminded those in attendance that Kabiyesi Ejisun had earlier directed the Union to hold a similar meeting in January, but the non-compliance by those concerned was seen as a total disobedience to Kabiyesi's directive.

Mr. Funso Awopetu (PA to the Ejisun), also notified those in attendance that the town needs to be easily distinguished having been already given the instrument of appointment and Approval to wear beaded crown by the State Government in 2014 and 2015 respectively, which both mean that Ipo Arakeji is a distinct, independent, recognized and government approved town and as such, is not under the control of any other town as previously been falsely believed to be.
