Wale Oyewale, Ibadan The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Sunday, visited the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, at the monarch’s residence in Ibadan, in respect of a letter written to him
on March 12 by the monarch.
According to him, the letter became necessary in view of the treatment being meted to the Ekiti traditional institution and its overall effects on the Yoruba culture. Oyebode said, “The governor paid a visit to Kabiyesi, the Alaafin of Oyo, so that he could explain the situation of things regarding the traditional institution in Ekiti State to him in a meeting rather than writing a letter; it is a matter of courtesy.
“The visit was to shed light on some fundamental issues raised by the royal father in the letter; to accord him the deserved respect and to explain things.
