Akeredolu tells Iralepo of Isinkan to restrict authority to domain
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu says warned the newly installed Iralepo of Isinkan against acting beyond his domain.
Mr Akeredolu gave the warning at the presentation of staff of office to the Iralepo of Isinkan, Oba Olugbenga Olofin-Adimula, at Ita Owa in Isinkan, Akure on Thursday.
Represented by Deputy Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa, Mr Akeredolu warned traditional rulers not to extend their territory to other areas outside their domain.
“I encourage you to accommodate everyone in your community, bearing in mind that the responsibility to lead Isinkan to its next level of socio-economic development has been placed on your shoulders. Let me also advise the Kabiyesi to restrict your governance to your domain only,” said the governor.
He added, “Any idea to extend your territory to other areas outside your domain will not be tolerated. May God help you to succeed in this onerous task. In the same vein, I implore the people of Isinkan to ensure that kabiyesi’s reign is remarkably peaceful and successful.”
Mr Akeredolu also reiterated his administration’s resolve to maintain neutrality in the process of selecting traditional rulers.
Responding, Mr Olofin-Adimula thanked the Ondo governor for his support to the community. He appealed to the community to remain united.
The stool of Iralepo became vacant on February 4, 2021 following the death of Oba Joseph Olu Ojo.
