In a demonstration of his enormous respect for the traditional institution, the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Saturday, paid respects to the departed Elemure of Emure Ekiti, Oba Emmanuel Adebayo, who recently joined his ancestors after suffering an undisclosed illness.
The monarch, who was a retired Police Commissioner and one of the Pelupelu Obas, the highest in the hierarchy of Ekiti traditional rulers, died on May 30, 2024, after reigning for 16 years.
Oba Faboro urged the town to begin the process for the selection of a new monarch in earnest, saying they should not place a premium on money but consider honour and honesty in appointing a new monarch that will replace the deceased monarch. 'I was close to Kabiyesi during his lifetime. He was friendly and honest. In fact, his life was full of fulfilment from his background to his career and his time as a king. This town witnessed tremendous development under his reign.
