The communique reads; “We, the members of Iwo Traditional Council under our leader, the Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, is commending Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke for various facilities and projects inaugurated to mark his 100-day in office.
“We have felt his government and governance in road construction, portable water, rural electrification, medical outreach flag off in Iwo, millions of naira for Small scale businesses and payment of salary arrears. He is God sent to the good people of Osun State. We pray for a successful tenure in office.
“However, we call on Governor Adeleke to suspend his executive order on some monarchs in Osun State. The order is tantamount to slowing down the monarchical administration of the affected cities. We appeal to Gov. Adeleke to return the full paraphernalia of kingship and honour Iwo Traditional Council by suspending the order.
“The affected monarchs are not too pleased. Even at salary, monarchs are striving to survive and we don’t want our traditional rulers to engage in land grabbing/sales. We beg your good office to consider our plea by granting our modest request.”
