The Eselu of Iselu Kingdom, in the Yewa-North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi, has withdrawn the chieftaincy titled he bestowed on a former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha
The first class monarch had few weeks ago named Okorocha the Otunba Asoludero of Iselu kingdom through a letter signed by the monarch.
But, Oba Akinyemi on Monday in another letter addressed to the senator explained that the chieftaincy title was withdrawn in the interest of peace and harmony. But our correspondent gathered that a committee of the paramount rulers in the state, including the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, grilled the monarch over the move to honour Okorocha.
