Ekiti elders ask Fayemi, 16 monarchs to settle rift
The senior citizens said development could only be achieved in an atmosphere when people put aside their differences and embrace peace.

They urged the court to nullify the appointment, saying only the aboriginal Pelupelu Obas, who pioneered the council in 1887, are eligible to be chairman.
“We, as senior citizens had had the opportunity of discussing with the governor once and the Obas twice. Each side, we must admit quoted relevant portions of documents, ancient and recent, to support the chairmanship being extended beyond the 16.
