Makinde Urges Oyo Traditional Rulers to Avoid Politics
On a recent occasion in Eruwa, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, who is also the presidential candidate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for the 2027 general election, warned traditional rulers to remain politically neutral. Speaking at the 1st year coronation anniversary of the Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola, Makinde stated that monarchs who engage in partisan politics risk being treated like politicians and facing political attacks.
He urged traditional rulers to focus on their responsibilities, particularly in fostering peace and development within their communities. Makinde was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Aare Asoludero of Ibarapaland, while his wife, Tamunominini Makinde, received the title of Yèyé Ààrẹ Asọ̀lúdẹ̀rọ̀ of Ibarapaland.
Oba Adegbola praised the governor and his wife for their achievements and contributions to society.
