meeting<\/a> he held with the monarch, chiefs and other stakeholders from the community who petitioned the state government accusing the Obasaoye of abdicating his throne and other acts of misconduct.<\/p>\nA statement by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Deputy Governor, Odunayo Ogunmola, said the meeting was summoned following a receipt of a security report from the Department of State Services (DSS) on the likelihood of violence over the conflict between the Oba and his chiefs who accused him of highhandedness and disrespect for the town\u2019s tradition.<\/p>\n
The aggrieved chiefs led by the Obaisa of Isaoye, Chief Joseph Ogidi, revealed that Oba Olajide, who ascended the throne in 2017, had abandoned the community and had failed to yield to the government\u2019s directive issued at a meeting presided over by the Deputy Governor on November 17, 2018, that he should resume his official duties.<\/p>\n
The community in its petition to the state government demanded the dethronement of Oba Olajide for allegedly sponsoring attacks on his subjects, abandonment of his throne, violation of the town\u2019s cultural heritage, destruction of the shrines and artefacts, using the Police to harass his subjects, refusal to participate in cultural and traditional practices which he claimed are against his faith and refusal to appear in the town for over three years.<\/p>\n
Isaoye indigenes in their petition also accused Oba Olajide of using his connection as a police officer to cause the arrest and detention of his subjects by the men of the Nigeria Police.<\/p>\n
Ogidi had earlier told the Deputy Governor that Oba Olajide\u2019s latest refusal to allow Mrs. Abiola Adeyeye, the Eyebasa of Isaoye to hold a feast in honour of the chiefs has been threatening the peace of the community and could snowball into a crisis if there was no prompt government intervention.<\/p>\n
He explained that every appeal to the Oba, to heed the government\u2019s directive last issued in November 2018 to return home and perform his royal duties and provide day-to-day leadership to the community had fallen on deaf ears.<\/p>\n
Ogidi disclosed that the Moba Traditional Council presided over by the immediate past Oore of Otun Ekiti, Oba Adedapo Popoola, failed to convince Oba Olajide to back down from his hard-line stance against his subjects which compelled them to officially request for his dethronement by the state government.<\/p>\n
Responding, Oba Olajide admitted that he had abandoned his domain for the fear of the unknown maintaining that nothing would change his stance.<\/p>\n
Oba Olajide claimed that the people of the town had denied him access to the palace.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Governor, Otunba Egbeyemi, who wondered why Oba Olajide refused to perform his official duties as a traditional ruler for over three years despite the government\u2019s intervention in the conflict with his subjects, said the monarch lacks the moral justification to continue collecting salaries for duties not rendered.<\/p>\n
Egbeyemi subsequently directed Moba Local Government to stop the monthly salaries of the Obasaoye with immediate effect. He also directed that Mrs Adeyeye goes ahead with her \u201ciwuye\u201d ceremony as the Eyebasa having been appointed since 2010 and in line with the wishes of the community.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Governor declined the community\u2019s request for Oba Olajide\u2019s dethronement saying the application to that effect is already before the Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers which is expected to make appropriate recommendations to the state government.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cYou were enthroned as the king of your town and you have not stayed in that town for the past three years and you are using the Police to arrest the people you are supposed to be leading as an Oba.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know I told you since 2018 that if you prefer your Police duty to the throne, the choice is yours and you can leave it and face your Police duty but your functions as an Oba must not suffer because your community needs you.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said you can\u2019t perform sacrifices and participate in rituals. If you can\u2019t do it, you will have problems with your people. This government don\u2019t want your town to dethrone you. How can you be made an Oba and you run away from the throne?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stay outside and you unleash the Police on your people. The person that wants to hold a feast for the chiefs (Eyebasa) to mark her chieftaincy, you stopped her from doing so.<\/p>\n
\u201cChiefs, let the woman hold her \u201ciwuye\u201d ceremony because the government has spoken. But I don\u2019t want your Oba to be dethroned but his salary must be stopped because he should not collect money for the work he has not done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
