A group, the Ikirun Development Vanguard (IDV), has called for fairness and transparency in the selection of new Akinrun of Ikirun.

The group made the call via a statement made available on Sunday to AllNews.


The IDV, while stating its belief in fairness and justice, declared its support for Gboleru family, saying, “It is obvious that it is their turn to take over the vacant stool at Akinrun palace, considering the written agreement among the three royal families.”

The group added that it “reject the ‘wuruwuru’ selection of one Prince Olalekan Akadri (popularly known as Pangila) reportedly from Obaara Ruling House.”

The statement read, “This is to inform the general public that we, all the over 5 thousand members (within and outside Nigeria) of Ikirun Development Vanguard hereby declare our support and call for fair, transparent and apolitical selection of new Akinrun of Ikirun town, headquarters of Ifelodun Local Government area of Osun State and the zonal headquarters of Ikirun Zone.

“Having taken our time to do thorough fact-findings and observe the recent development about Obaship tussle in Ikirun land, we have therefore unanimously decided on the following resolutions:
