The Olofin of Isheri, His Royal Majesty Oba Adekunle Sulaiman has distanced himself from culture of intimidation and intolerance towards Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun's Second Term campaigning today 3rd of November, 2023.
According to his rejoinder to clear the air on his intentions toward His Excellency Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun mfr.
He said: "My attention has been drawn to online reports about the aborted meeting of a governorship candidate of a political party in Ogun State with some Awori Obas
What caught my attention was not the meeting but the umbrella bodies of Obas under whose aegis meeting was to have been held.
The bodies touted as the umbrella bodies that featured in the reports were:
1. Council of Awori Obas
2. League of Awori Obas
For the records it has become imperative to note viz:
a. Neither of the two names on parade in the reports are neither recognized in law nor by the government.
b. The above bodies, with all due respect does not represent the entire Awori Obas
It is important to reiterate on the strength of verifiable historical accounts that the Olofin of Isheri is the foremost Awori Oba in Ogun and Lagos State respectively
I am not aware of such scheduled meeting as reported on the online publications. I would also like to advice that the office of the Governor should not be dragged into mud based on insinuations about Awori Obas in Ogun State. Even though we agitate to be united in a traditional council, we have resolved to be law abiding citizens and to cooperate with the present Government.
E - signed
Olofin of Isheri
Adimula of Awori Kingdom.
