Akinrun-in-council appreciates Oyetola over appointment of new monarch
The members of Akirun-In-council of Ikirun, on Friday, expressed their appreciation to Governor, Gboyega Oyetola for approving and confirming the appointment of Oba Yunus Olamilekan Akadiri, OYEWOLE IV as the new Akinrun of Ikirun town.
It would be recall that Akinrun stool became vacant as a result of the demise of the late Akirun of Ikirun, Oba Rauf Olayiwola Adedeji on February 3, 2021.
In a statement signed by the Akinrun-in-council, they thanked the governor for his fatherly and impartial role which added much needed value to the transparency and fairness of the selection process.
“It’s worthy of note that the race for the throne became fiercely competitive and was keenly contested among the eligible royal bloods before the noble kingmakers, the only body of wisemen who has the statutory roles in the selection process of new King divinely selected Oba Yunus Olamilekan Akadiri (OYEWOLE IV) as the next Akirun of Ikirun among over 22 princes who were jostling for the throne.
“We therefore use this opportunity to appeal to all those people who are still nursing grievances over the long time concluded selection process which held on November 19, 2021 to give peace a chance in Ikirun and find the soft part in their hearts to join hand with the Palace in moving our great town, Ikirun Agunbe forward.
“While we concede that It’s not abnormal to be aggrieved where a particular expectation failed to materialize to one’s favour, we however consider resort to self-help as a means of settling scores very much avoidable and abhorrent. It is on that note we call for promotion of calmness, harmony and tranquility such that the wise and industrious people are reputed for.
“The Akirun-In-Council appreciates the good people all over the world including Royal Fathers in the state, and environs particularly entire good people of Ikirun for their continued support, prayers and real concerns during the trying moment. May Allaah continue to give us wisdom, power and knowledge to necessary to continue earn people’s confidence and prayers.
“It’s our fervent hope and prayers to Almighty Allah that the reigns of His Royal Majesty, Oba Yunus Olamilekan Akadiri (Oyewole IV) be long, remarkable and prosperous for the entire good people of ikirun,” the statement reads
