The Agunsoye Ruling House of Imesi Ekiti community, in Gbonyin Local government area of Ekiti State, has rejected the suspension of kingmakers and replacement with warrant chiefs.
The state government had sacked the existing four kingmakers and replaced with warrant chiefs to perform the role of kingmakers in the process of filling the vacant stool of the Onimesi of Imesi-Ekiti.The ruling house expressed anger over the decision to appoint warrant chiefs against the traditional practice, describing it as an act of illegality and flagrant desecration of tradition.
A statement in Ado Ekiti , on Wednesday by the Head of the ruling house, Prince Adu Fasunlade, said the brazen removal of the Kingmakers at a time three suits were pending in courts over the royal tussle contravened the rule of law. “Therefore, it will become ludicrous and disrespectful to the rule of law, if the Kingmakers have acted otherwise. Inactivity of the Kingmakers was a respect for the rule of Law of the land.
Fasunlade added that the ruling house had on May 13, 2020, filed the third suit at the State High Court, Omuo Ekiti divison against Olatunde from Idosere quarters of Imesi Ekiti to stop parading himself as a prince of Agunsoye Ruling House.
