Magaji Nda of Ilorin, Alhaji Salihu Mohammed, speaks with TUNDE OYEKOLA on some allegations made by Moro Concerned Elders Movement that the Ilorin Emirate had been oppressing their people and preventing the proper grading of other traditional rulers in the Moro Local Government Area of Kwara Stateof Moro Local Government Area have been agitating for their exit from Ilorin Emirate over allegations of victimisation and oppression by the emirate, what do you think about...
Moro and Ilorin are the same because most Moro people have houses in Ilorin. All of us are interwoven. My family is in Ogbondoroko in Asa Local Government Area and others have their families in all the local government areas making up the emirate; that is, Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Asa and Moro local government areas, and we are all under the Emir of Ilorin.
I want to tell you that those making the allegations are not saying the truth. Nobody is oppressing anyone. Those appointed as district heads and Alangua are indigenes of the various communities in Moro. For example, the district head of Malete was born there and his father’s house and burial ground are there. Also, the district head of Ejidongari has his grandfather’s burial site there. All the Alanguas are nominees of the people before the emir endorsed them for appointment.
I want to tell you that there was no time that the emir went to the governor to give such a warning. Those people are trying to cause trouble and make people disenchanted by not saying the truth. I want to tell you that they’re not indigenes of Moro. The people of Moro have told us that they are not their sons; they are strangers.
As far as I’m concerned, nobody has been graded in the five local government areas that constitute Ilorin Emirate. The Emir of Ilorin is the head and people are satisfied with him. He is the head and people live peacefully. There is peace in the emirate and the state. No traditional ruler apart from the emir is recognised.
