Ondo Ruling House Petitions Governor Over Olu Appointment Dispute

The ruling house in Okeluse, Ondo State, has formally petitioned Governor Aiyedatiwa to urgently review the appointment of Akintoy Felix Adeoy as Olu of Okeluse. The petition alleges that the appointment process violated legal procedures and traditional chieftaincy succession norms.

The ruling house supports Adewole Akinpelu Abegunde as a more suitable candidate. The dispute centers on the rotation system among the five recognized ruling houses in the Okeluse kingdom.

The petition highlights the legal dimensions of the issue, including a pending court appeal related to the appointment.
