Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has called on traditional rulers in the state to desist from acts of indiscipline, such as allocation of land for ilegal mining and unauthorized selling of government lands, especially in the plantations.

Abiodun stated this on Tuesday while inaugurating Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, as the new chairman of the Ogun State Council of Obas, at the Oba’s Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

He expressed disappointment over the activities of some of some Obas and Baales, explained that illegal mining has caused serious environmental degradation on some communities and posed serious threats to some critical public infrastructure in the state.

Abiodun disclosed that an Executive Order would soon be issued from his office to deal with any Oba or Baale found wanting.

The governor also warned traditional rulers against dabbling in to partisan politics.

“Indeed, your insight, wisdom, and close connection to the grassroots are invaluable assets as we strive to build a prosperous and inclusive society.

“We are blessed with highly resourceful traditional rulers who have been providing purposeful leadership at the grassroots and who are passionate about the general well-being of our people in our communities.

“Therefore, our administration will not deviate from executing our development’s plans, which aims at building on the legacies bequeathed to us by our founding fathers in the old Western Region.

“I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all our Royal Fathers for the role they have been playing to support our administration’s development agenda.

” Without your support and that of the people over whom you reign, we would not have achieved the successes that our people have continued to publicly acknowledge.”
