The council, in a letter dated March 14 2020, written and signed by its Chairman, the Alawe of Ilawe-Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Alabi to Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, called on him to stop Oba Adeyemi from his ‘undue Intereference’ in the internal affairs of Ekiti Obas.‘Request To Stop Undue Intereference of His Majesty, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi in the Internal Affairs of Ekiti Obas’
He said unlike in some tribes, where there was nothing attached to their traditional institutions, the Yoruba traditional institution was ancestral and spiritual. But, the other 11 aggrieved Obas were adamant and had been shunning the council meeting and government function since August 2019 owing to the impression that Alawe was politically promoted to that rank and that he was not qualified to occupy the exalted seat.
He said the letter from Alafin was unwarranted, misguided and lacking in merit, as far as the Chieftaincy matters was concerned in Ekiti, saying “it was written without adequate information and knowledge of the chieftaincy matters in Ekiti. “It is a matter of fact and law that Grading, Classification and Composition of Council of Obas in Ekiti State and perhaps anywhere in Nigeria is governed by Law through Government Gazettes even from the Colonial era. From his letter, Alaafin is unable to define what qualifies an Oba to be a PeluPelu Oba. He is not aware of the fact that among the first group of Obas that formed the Association in 1900 were Deji of Akure and Owalobo of Obo Ayegunle who have since left the Association.
Those Ekiti obas are on their own, Fayemi has done the omoluwabi way by visiting the Alafin
Get your fact right idiot the nation. It was only ilawe that wrote d letter. Even all ekiti obas are against him
It is disappointing when too wanted to join the league of punch newspaper by disseminate news without verification.
They should look before they leap. This is kfayemi at Oyo Alafin.
Meddlesome interloper. Hugging governor will soon be on your case.
Fayemi don't allow Alawe to destroy your future. Listen to the word of wisdom.
When unity is absent then strength and progress takes leave. If the Allafin of OYO wade into Ekiti issue I don't see anything wrong in that.
Let him try saying it to Aláàfin face.
Not possible...who are the traditional ruler in ekiti... I pity them Pls Alafin intervene in the matter because am sure it is the handwork of their governor.... Respect for king is the respect for my culture yorubaculture
