The statement reads in part, “It is pertinent to mention that the stool of Akire of Ikire generated crisis in the year 2021 over the Supreme Court Judgment of 2014 which affirmed that Lambeloye Ruling House that produced Oba Olatunde Falabi had no legal right to occupy the stool of Akire of Ikire as at the time it did when a vacancy occurred in 1987.
“The aftermath of the crisis made the Osun State Government in collaboration with all the five (5) Ruling Houses of Ikire to resolve and jointly agree on the amendment of 1958 Akire Chieftaincy Declaration which paved way for Aketula Ruling House to be the next Ruling House whenever a vacancy occurred.
“The Council also approved the appointment of Prince Tijani Feyi Ademola as Aladodo of Adodo in Atakumosa East LG, Prince (Dr) Jacob Adetayo Haastrup as Olumobi of Imobi – ijesa, Atakumosa East LG.
