The New Deji-Elect, Kole Aladetoyinbo
A prince from the Osupa Ruling House, Kole Aladetoyinbo, has emerged the
new Deji of Akure, a decision strongly protested by the deposed last
occupier of the throne.
Aladetoyinbo, was on Sunday unanimously selected by traditional
kingmakers in Akure, at their sitting, which took place at the palace of
Asamo of Akure.
The new Monarch, a businessman who lives in Baltimore in United States
of America (USA) will be installed today (Monday) at an event to be
attended by the governor Olusegun Mimiko.
Aladetoyinbo had contested for the throne three times but lost. On
Sunday, he defeated 12 other princes to emerge as the monarch of the
town subject to the approval of the Ondo state government.
The other 12 contestants included: Akinwumi Falodun, Oluwole Adegite
Kayode Abewajoye, Kayode Adegite, Femi Adejuyigbe and Adeolu Adepoju.
The rest are Oluyemisi Bello Falugba, Adegbola Adelabu, Daramola
Adewole, Samuel Adegboro, Arimoro Ojo Ayodele, Oluwole Ogunsuyi and Leye
Agbebo.
The process, which started with the screening of the contestants, from
the Osupa Ruling family, was held at a special meeting held at the
residence of the family’s head, Dr Adebimpe Ogunleye in Akure.
At the screening, the Secretary to Akure South Local Government, Kehinde
Ige said the selection was in line with section 8 subsection one of the
Ondo State Law-2006, which empowered the ruling family to make
nomination for kingmakers to pick final candidate.
