The Eselu of Iselu, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi, has clarified that monarchs in Ogun West senatorial zone are still backing the ambition of Governor Dapo Abiodun to seek re-election in 2023.
Oba Akinyemi said the Olu of Ilaro’s endorsement of Otegbeye on October 5 was at variance with his earlier open endorsement of Governor Abiodun on August 14 where he asked indigenes of Yewa not to contest against Governor Abiodun.
‘’To enable the good sons and daughters of Yewa Division, other citizens of Ogun State, and the general public not to be fed with any distorted information, I am using this medium to announce that the prayer offered by Kabiyesi Olugbenle for the success of Barrister Biyi Otegbeye was His Royal Majesty, Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle’s personal opinion. It does not reflect the position of all the Members of the Yewa Traditional Council.
‘’Interestingly, no Yewa monarch out of the 53 members of the Yewa Traditional Council was at the venue where Kabiyesi Olugbenle prayed for the success of Barrister Biyi Otegbeye.’’
