Going by the recent agitation from some few set of people in Odo Ọra Ekiti Calling for the deposition of the traditional rulers of the town, the Obalemo of Odo Ora Ekiti, Oba Samuel Akinola Adeyemo, the monarch has described the move as totally condemnable calling on the aggrieved members to shun pettiness and embrace peace.
Oba Adeyemo ejo explained that the progress of the community should be the ultimate goal of every indigenes and residents of the town said that holding on to petty agitations based on unfounded claims and embarking on destructive criticism as well as mischievous activities are not the way to engendering peace, harmony and development of an ideal people.
A group of people led by one Prof. Dipo Olofintila had been allegedly said to have been cooking the dethronement of the king who was said to have been duly selected by kingmakers through the traditional processes without any biases and ratified by government.
Oba Adeyemo further explained that he had been able to use his goodwill to facilitate development to the town with a promise to do more.
In his contribution, the Sajowa of Odo-Ora, Chief Tola Adeponmola joins the monarch to sue for peace and urged the aggrieved members to cooperate with the monarch to consolidate on his last achievements rather that engaging in pull it down syndrome.
Also speaking, High Chief Samuel Ajayi Fayigbe JP, who is the third in rank to the Oba, said there is no reason to call for his removal because he was duly chosen by the Oracle which was consulted in different places in kidding Orin and Ijelu Ekiti.
Chief Adeboye Olanityi, the Ologun Eruku of Odo-Ora Ekiti, said it is very unimaginable for any sensible indigene of the town to join in the “Pull Him Down” (PHD) movement when the town was already on the fast lane of development.
Similarly, the Oluode of Odo-Ora, Chief Olusola Oni, said those agitating for the removal of Kabiyesi are those whose candidates failed the selection process while Mrs. Beatrice Adeponmola, the Eyegun, wondered why a supposed peace meeting should end in the call for the deposition of a duly crown Oba.
