Gov. Ademola Adeleke puts on hold appointment of Oba of Ikirun and 2 others

As part of his first executive calls, the executive governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has put on hold the appointment of three traditional rulers appointed by his successor, Oyetola.

The former governor, who vacated office on Monday had appointed the three traditional rulers as part of his executive orders.

Meanwhile, the new governor, Adeleke, in a swift move on Monday after been sworn as the governor, put on hold the appointment alongside other key political appointments by the former governor.

The suspended Obas include, the Akirun of Ikirun, Oba Yinusa Akadiri; Aree of Iree, Oba Ademola Oluponle; and Owa of Igbajo, Oba Adegboyega Famodun.

In a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, noted that the appointment of the traditional rulers should remain unoccupied pending the outcome of a Committee of Inquiry to review their appointments and subsequent installations.

He said, “All appointments of traditional rulers made by Osun State Government after 17th July, 2022, are hereby ordered to be reviewed to ensure there was strict compliance with due process of chieftaincy declarations and native law, custom and tradition relating to such chieftaincies. In the case of Ikirun, Iree and Igbajo, to avoid further breakdown of law and order, the appointments of Akirun of Ikirun, Aree of Ire and Owa of Igbajo are hereby put on hold pending review. “Subsequently, the palaces of Akinrun of Ikirun, Aree of Iree and Owa of Igbajo should remain unoccupied, while security agencies are hereby ordered to take charge.”

Meanwhile, the former ruling party which is now the opposition party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) has trailed the new governor over the development, stating that the governor has no legal authority to abort a constitutional exercise of power by the former governor.

Sunday Akere, immediate past SA to the former governor, and a party chieftain decried the development, describing it as ‘childish and dictatorial.’

He said, “For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP-led administration should accept the reality that the immediate past Governor Oyetola had the mandate of Osun State people till midnight Saturday 26th of November, 2022 and any action taken in his capacity as governor is covered by the laws of the land.

“For a governor to dabble into traditional matters in this way amounts to nothing but abuse of power and brazen politicisation of traditional institutions.

“If there are complaints against the process of selecting any Oba (monarch), what the new administration should do is to encourage the complaints to seek redress in the court of law. Instructing security operatives to lock up palaces amounts to an invitation to chaos and breakdown of law and order. No governor has such a power and we will not hesitate to call the attention of elders in the state to this as a matter of urgency so as to call this government to order.

“We have had governments here before and none has ever taken this sort of dictatorial approach to issues of the state and traditional matters.”
