Related News, on Thursday inaugurated the Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Adebanji Alabi, as the Chairman of the state’s Council of Traditional Rulers.

The chiefs, led by Ajero of Ijero, Joseph Adewole, had gone to court to challenge Mr Fayemi’s elevation of the Alawe to the status of Pelupelu in his bid to appoint him as chairman of the council. They also refused to attend Thursday’s inauguration of the new council leadership, even though it was attended by many other traditional rulers in the state.

“I want you to be protectors of your people as custodians of culture and tradition in your domains. Despite modernity, you remain the rallying point and you will ever remain relevant.“I want to appreciate the immediate past council for putting in their best in piloting the affairs of the council. I have no doubt that the new council will collaborate with government for more development in our state.
