Alaafin of Oyo writes Fayemi over sanction of Ekiti monarchs

The Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi, has written to the Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, over a recent query sent to 16 monarchs in the state.

“administrative letters” to no fewer than 11 first-class traditional rulers over alleged non-cooperation with government and leadership of the state traditional council.

The letter was signed on behalf of the government by the Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Chieftaincy Affairs, A. O. Adeoye. “Therefore, Mr Governor has directed that Your Royal Majesty should forward your representation for this inaction, through this office within 72 hours on the receipt of this letter.”The cold war between the affected traditional rulers and the governor started about eight months ago when the governor appointed the Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Ajibade Alabi, as the new Chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Meanwhile, Governor Kayode Fayemi, on Thursday, said he had no plans to dethrone any of the traditional rulers served with administrative letters.
