Governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Ademola Adeleke of Osun State have taken steps towards resolving ongoing boundary disputes between their states. Governor Adeleke also disclosed that he had recently met with Governor Makinde to deliberate on ways to amicably resolve the disputes, which have led to tensions and violent clashes.
The meeting followed reports by the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, who raised concerns over attacks allegedly carried out by residents of Lagelu Local Government Area in Oyo State on villages within Iwo Local Government Area in Osun State. Oba Akanbi listed affected villages to include Ogunajo, Eleye, Molamu, Paku, Ejemu Oja, Oloya, Arikese, Eleweran, Olofa Ogundiran, and Molafe, all under Iwo Local Government Area.
“The two governors met during the week and resolved to take immediate actions, including a directive to the deputy governors of both states to meet and visit the disputed areas,” Rasheed stated. He added that both deputy governors were also instructed to meet with community leaders from Iwo and Lagelu to foster peaceful dialogue.
