“I’m the Ejemo of Odogbo-Ijesa where HRH Olatunde Oginni was installed by the traditional institution of the community as the first Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa on 20th of January 2012 after more than 150 people within the community signed the letter that was written to Osun State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy matters demanding for the enthronement of Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa.”
“Olatunde Oginni has shown to be a worthy leader that can be relied upon since he was installed as Aro ii of this Odogbo-Ijesa in 2009, and considering his contributions to the development of our this town through numerous projects running into several millions of naira, we the progressive-minded citizen of the town, after several deliberations and consultations resolved to elevates him to be our traditional leader.
“Nobody has ever occupied such a post in the town’s history, so it is not controversial or clashes with any existing title.
“We don’t have any issue with all other titles which include that of ‘Likure of Odogbo-Ijesa’. And I’m happy to inform you that an ultra-modern palace for the Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa has just been concluded,” said Chief Adeyeye in his reaction to the news.
