Community

leaders and youths of Odgbo-Ijesa in Atakumosa West Local Government of Osun State have unanimously proclaimed Dr. Olatunde Oginni as their traditional leader in whom their faith resides.

This was disclosed in a statement issued at the end of a town hall meeting held in the town and made available to newsmen where the community vowed to resist any attempt by the Osun State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to impose another traditional leader on the community.

It was contained in the statement, signed by Chief Jacob Adeyeye on behalf of the council of the traditional chiefs in the community that "the government should not do anything that can throw the peaceful community into crisis because any attempt to impose somebody else, apart from the person that has been collectively chosen by all and sundry might lead to breakdown of law and order".

The community leaders said their illustrious son and business magnate; Olatunde Oginni has earned their confidence and support by his many efforts in turning things around in the remote part of the Ijesaland.

“We are happy people and a peace loving community and that is why we are not going to take law into our hands but use a legal means to resist this injustice”, the statement reads.
