Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke
Aree’s stool: Another contestant drags Adeleke to court
The Iree community in the Boripe local government area of Osun State is embroiled in a fresh crisis as Prince Afolabi Ali, a contestant for the Aree stool, has taken Governor Ademola Adeleke to court.
The Nation recalled that the development came amid confusion in the community stemming from the appointment of two kings by the Osun government.
Oba Ademola Ponle was appointed by the administration of Adegboyega Oyetola in 2022 but Adeleke appointed Oba Muritala Oyelakin as the king last week, following the issuance of a White Paper.
However, the legitimacy of the process that led to the appointment of the second king has been challenged by Prince Ali from the Olubonku Ruling House, alleging that Adeleke disregarded the constitution during the selection process.
