Council of Obas, the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba
Adekunle Aromolaran, has said that traditional rulers in
the state may boycott Monday’s coronation and
presentation of staff of office ceremony of the new Ooni
of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwus, unless they receive
formal invitation letter from the central planning
committee of the event.
Briefing newsmen after its meeting in Osogbo yesterday,
where he was adopted as the substantive chairman of the
council, Oba Aromolaran stated that members of the
council would only shift their position if they are accorded
their due recognition.
He said: “If we
are invited with
invitation cards
or letters, we
will go there
after consulting
with the
governor. As at
the time we
concluded the
meeting of
Osun Council of
Obas today
(Thursday), we have not received any invitation from Ile-
Ife about Monday’s coronation. We don’t go to where we
have not been invited.”
According to him, “Today, we held a meeting of Council of
Obas in Osun. During our discussion, we deliberated on
the chairmanship of the council. Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba
Jimoh Olanipekun moved the motion that since I have
been acting as the chairman, I should continue in that
capacity as the substantive chairman and other monarchs
