Ogun State and Ijebu Ode Local Government Deny Suspending Chiefs Amid Awujale Selection Process
The Ogun State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, in conjunction with the Ijebu Ode Local Government, refuted claims of suspending three key chiefs in Ijebuland. The joint statement dismissed social media reports alleging the suspension of chiefs Abimbola Okenla Lapoekun, Tunde Odulaja Madasa, and Lekan Oshifeso.
This clarification comes amid heightened attention on the selection of a new Awujale of Ijebuland following the passing of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona. The authorities emphasized adherence to due process and urged the public to disregard misinformation.
