The Ogun State governorship candidate of Alliance Action Congress (AAC), Hon. Harrison Adeyemi on Sunday, warned the state government not to dabble into the obaship selection process of Abigi town of Ogun Waterside Local Government Area through imposition of any candidate as the traditional ruler of t town.
Adeyemi emphatically cautioned that state government's attempt at imposing any preferred candidate as the next monarch in his country home with following the due process set by the town's Council of Kingmakers could instigate a communal crisis in the Ijebu town of Abigi.
Speaking with journalists yesterday in Abeokuta, the state capital, Adeyemi pleaded with the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun not to disrupt the peaceful coexistence of Onipe Kingdom "following his recent moves at introducing the warrant Chiefs" in the selection of a new king for the town.
Urging Governor Abiodun to stear clear and not interfere in the selection process, Adeyemi disclosed that the people of Abigi town have "unanimously rejected" the introduction of the warrant chiefs when in actual sense, the Council of Kingmakers are still intact and ready to perform their functions.
"The kingmakers should be allowed to interface with the royal families to guarantee a free and fair selection process. I want to encouraged Gov. Abiodun to be more focused on his agenda at fulfilling all the promises he made to the people of the state instead of running after an irrelevance sleeping of trying to hijack the role of established Council of Kingmakers".
