A Prince of Erin-Ile, Kwara State, has called on Governor Abdurahmon Abdulrasak, to halt the ongoing process for the selection of a new Elerin of Erin Ile because the majority of the indigenes are not happy with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to journalists at the weekend, Prince Joel Omokanye, a descendant of the contestants of the first-class royal stool, said although the process of selecting and installing a King in Yoruba land is not rocket science, there is a lot of confusion regarding the ongoing selection process for the new Elerin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cAs a Prince, I don\u2019t have a role in the installation of a new King. That is the work of Afobaje (the Kingmakers) but if the process is not right or due process is not being followed, I, as a native of Erin, a community leader, and a Prince, I have to call on His Excellency to halt the process because this could lead to chaos and anarchy because the majority of us, when I say us, I mean the youth, the women, and elders are not happy with the selection process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prince Omokanye said what was happening was that the Afobaje were not even properly constituted, he added that many of the houses were not represented, and the few in place wanted to impose somebody on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy the hurry? Due process must be followed, ” he said.” If we don\u2019t have the right people as Afobaje, how will they produce a king that will be accepted by everybody? We need not rush this process because any attempt to impose a person on the community will lead to a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat is why I am appealing to the Governor to please immediately stop the process which many claimed is already on his table. The governor should send an independent fact-finding team to Erin Ile to conduct a thorough investigation and feel the pulse of the people. My people and I are appealing to the Governor to please the halt move to impose an unpopular person as King because it will lead to crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last Elerin of Erin Ile, Oba Abdulganiyu Ajibola Ibrahim died in May 2023 and about 30 princes of the town had indicated interest to succeed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trouble began when, in the process of selecting the Afobaje to oversee the selection process, some prominent families like the Inurin and Odofin were excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the Afobajes met and settled on three candidates, whose names they forwarded to the state governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The submission of the names of 76-year-old Jimoh Adeoye, Rauf Usman Aroyehun, and Adewale Omorinoye to the governor, for him to choose one as the new Elerin, is now generating tension in the community. Elders and youths in the community alleged that a Special Adviser to the Governor was trying to foist Ferguson Adesoye on the community because of personal interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They claimed the Special Adviser\u2019s son lives with Adesoye in Seattle, USA so he is using his office and relationship with the Governor to return the favour to his friend unmindful of the implication of his action on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many indigenes who spoke in support of Omokanye appealed to Governor AbdulRasak to stop the current selection process and order a fresh exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
