Makinde presents staff of office to Oyo monarch


 The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday, officially presented the Staff of Office to the new Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Oyebola, Adeyeri III, Ajirotutu I.

It would be recalled that a legal practitioner, Abideen Adeniran, had earlier advised Makinde not to proceed with the presentation of Staff of Office to the new Aseyin as the case challenging his selection is still pending before an Oyo State High Court, sitting in Iseyin.

Adeniran, who also stated that the action became imperative in the interest of justice, peace and good governance, further contended that the government under the leadership of Makinde should be conscious of the pendency of suit no: HOI/04/2023 before the Court, sitting in Iseyin, over the contest for the stool of the ancient town.

However, Makinde, who presented the staff of office to the new Aseyin at Iseyin Stadium, stated that developing Iseyin town more is his major concern, adding that the town had great potential for growth and development.

He said, “Iseyin is a town with great potential, and I am committed to working with the people of Iseyin to harness this potential for the benefit of all. Education and youth empowerment are the foundation of a prosperous future for Iseyin. With the right investment in these areas, we can ensure that our young people have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.”
