Osun Govt postpones presentation of Staff of Office to monarch

 

The Osun State Government has postponed the presentation of Staff of Office to the new Aree of Iree, Oba Muritala Oyelakin.

This followed an order by the state High Court, which restrained the governor, Ademola Adeleke, from presenting Staff of Office to the new Aree of Iree, Oba Muritala Oyelakin.

The State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, in a statement obtained in Osogbo, however, clarified that Oba Oyelakin had been appointed and installed.

Alimi further said the state government has postponed until further notice the formal presentation of Staff of Office and instrument of appointment to Oba Oyelakin in obedience to the order of the court.

Alimi recalled that the state Executive Council presided over by Adeleke approved the appointment of the monarch on March 6, 2024, and the presentation of Staff of Office to him had been slated for today (Saturday).

The Commissioner subsequently urged the monarch and the people of Iree to remain calm and law-abiding in spite of the court decision saying, “Following an Osun State High Court’s Ex-Parte ruling Presided over by Hon Justice M. O Awe against the presentation of Staff of Office to His Royal Majesty Oba Muritala Oyelakin as the Aree of Iree, the Government wishes to implore the monarch and the good people of Iree to remain calm and be law-abiding.

“We want to state unequivocally that the status quo remains as the presentation of staff and instrument of appointment that would have been held today, 4th May 2024, is merely ceremonial and does not in any way invalidate the earlier approval granted Oba Oyelakin as the substantive Aree of Iree as approved by Governor Ademola Adeleke led Osun State Executive Council.
