The government appealed to Owatapa of Itapa Ekiti, Oba David Ajaja, who deposed the chief following irreconcilable differences, to reabsorb him in the cabinet to restore peace and unity to the town. The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, gave the directive on Tuesday while presiding over a meeting on the chieftaincy crisis between Owatapa and Elemo of Itapa Ekiti, High Chief Isaac Ojo-Ajaja, and the town's Chief Priest, Chief Kehinde Osanyingbemi.
The deputy governor said, 'Peace is very paramount to Governor Biodun Oyebanji's administration, because it is the bedrock of development and everybody must key into this peace- building agenda. 'There is no town where people are frequently removed as traditional chiefs that can witness peace. It is not always the right way to settle scores. I appeal to Owatapa to forgive whatever the Chief must have done and allow him to continue to function as the Chief Priest.
