Adeleke
Sacked Three Monarchs, New King Emerges
One month after Governor Ademola Adeleke removed three
monarchs from the Osun state communities, Prince Ibraheem Oyelakin was selected
as the Oba-elect following a new selection process.
Recall that Governor Adeleke sacked Owa of Igbajo, Oba
Adegboyega Famodun, Are of Iree, Oba Ademola Ponle, and Akirun of Ikirun, Oba
Yinusa Akadiri, citing flaws in their selection process.
He mandated a fresh nomination process for new kings.
Oyelakin from the Oyekun ruling house, therefore, emerged
as the Oba-elect for the Iree community in the Boripe Local Government Area of
Osun State.
In a statement issued by the Oba-elect, Prince Ibraheem
Oyelakin expressed gratitude to his fellow contestants and appealed for their
support during his reign.
