Group Petitions Ogun Governor, Speaker Over Ibeshe Obaship Tussle, Calls For Caution

A Peace Advocacy group, Advocacy for Advancement of Peace and Harmony in Africa Initiative (ADAPHAI) has petitioned the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun and the Speaker of the House Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo, over the Obaship tussle in Ibeshe, Yewa North Local Government.

According to the petition, which was signed by the National Coordinator of the group, Comrade Sulaimon Suberu and received in the office of the Governor and that of the Speaker on Tuesday morning, some officials in the goverment were alleged to be working in connivance with certain individuals in the town to scuttle the primordial arrangement of kingship and pattern of ascendancy in the town by imposing a wrong candidate.

The petition asserted that the next ruling house, which is the Olokojobi ruling house had unanimously presented a suitable candidate according to the extant law and in line with the dictates of Ifa Oracle, in the person of
Idowu AbdulAzeez Adedimeji.

It further explained that the popular candidate was later changed unilaterally by the kingmakers and replaced with one Rotimi Mulero, which triggered protests and violent agitations in the town.

The petition read thus: "We are writing principally as a leading civil society organization in Nigeria, with mandate to ensure peaceful co-existence among different communities in Nigeria to call your attention to brewing imbroglio in the sleepy town of Ibese, in Yewa North of Ogun State, over the vacancy of the town's stool and the dangerous move to pervert the process of replacement in line with the spirit and the letter of extant law guiding such arrangement and the inherent cultural ethos.
