Ede monarch marks 15th anniversary, to honour Dambazzau

Meanwhile, a reaction greeted the announcement on Friday.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Yomi Aliyu, said in a statement on Friday that the news that Dambazzau would be conferred with the Jagunmolu of Ede came with a rude shock, because, according to him, the chieftaincy was not vacant. The statement read, “Chief Yomi Alliyu SAN was installed as the Jagunmolu Of Edeland since March 1999 by HRM Oba Tijanni Oyedokun Agbonran II, the then Timi of Edeland, with HRM Oba Okunade Sijuwade in attendance.

“We have set in motion judicial process to correct the anomaly should the current Timi, whom I hold in high esteem, insist on going forward with the said installation of our highly revered Gen Dambazzau. “We can think of no reason for appointing another to a post held by me other than that I defended my client, Governor Isiaka Oyetola, in the last election. As a person that supports APC from AD time I could not do otherwise.”All rights reserved.
