OMITUNTUN 2.0: STILL COUNTING, AN UNIMAGINABLE FACELIFT, OUTCOME OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES, MOE WRITES

 OMITUNTUN 2.0: STILL COUNTING, AN UNIMAGINABLE FACELIFT, OUTCOME OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES, MOE WRITES

In 2019, Gov Seyi Makinde  promised the good people of Oyo State an Accelerated Development administration prior to the campaign trail that made his emergence free fair, credible and worthwhile.

Upon his swearing-in, he introduced a model that will be flexible to execute the four pillars towards a productive accelerated development on Security, Education, Infrastructure and AgriBusiness for expansion of economy. The model till today still valid and helping the projection plan in Making Oyo Great Again (M.O.G.A) and it's not far fetch, Data, Logic and Science.

However, sequel to the successful tenure of Omituntun 1.0, while Gov Seyi Makinde  was on campaign ground across the state towards Omituntun 2.0 sustainable development for growth and prosperity, due to the high level of performance in the area of infrastructure across all geopolitical zones in Oyo State by connecting the entire Oke Ogun in one full basking basket as first of it's kind in the history of the state. He said and I quote:

"Our top-to-bottom approach also means that under Omituntun 2.0, we will ensure that we complete all ongoing road projects and give priority attention to internal roads in urban areas."

Now, show me a Leader, Exceptional Inspirational Transformational Educationist Revolutionary Missionary Master of note like The Man Called MAKINSSON Engr. Dsc. GSSRS KJW Abiodun Oluseyi MAKINDE FNSE whose leadership trait spreading like staphylococcus in the national and sub-national Political zones hence why he was elected as the Vice chairman NGF as well recently honored a chieftaincy title as Aare Orile Igbon kingdom.

Let me burst your imagination by informing the public that, a face-lift is ongoing at some various inner roads in each of the state local Government across the state such as, The Construction of Hydraulic Structures, Earthworks and Asphaltic Tarring length 1.3km Molade focus junction-C.A.C primary School Akuro junction, an access road linking from wema bank in Iwo Road to Monatan, Iwo road Axis in Egbeda, Abayomi Rosewale Iwo road of about 700m in Ibadan North East Local Government being handled by the Executive Chairman of each LG respectively and a host of many.

Beyond rhetorics, contrary to some insinuations and innuendos from enemies of the state and charlatans that, the chairmen and Algon are inside the state government's pocket hence incapacitating them to perform their Democratic functions as Elected chairmen in their Local Government to deliver good Politics and Policies that brings Democracy to the Grassroots.

On this note, I beseech the good people of Oyo State to continue to cooperate, support and criticize constructively if need be with this administration of My Principal Effulgent Leader, Engr. Seyi Makinde and I am using this avenue to admonish all groups of opposition in the state whether dead or sick to please join hands together on sustainable development goal towards the future of the State in mind. It's time for Governance, set aside Politics as Players will come and Go, But our State Remains.

Your's Servant Leader,

Egalitarian Dig. Com.

Coronation of Obas in Ibadanland : A Chronicle of Timekeeping in Makinde's Administration - Basòrun Onítàn Ìbàdàn

The city of Ibadan embodies the values of openness, diversity, and high achievements, the city known of many firsts. Highlighting the uniqueness of the city and its impact on the lives and livelihood of the people. The coronation of all the traditional heads of eleven local government in Ibadan will be symbolic and add value to the city of Ibadan.

Coronation as the act of placement or bestowal of a crown upon a monarch's head, the significant of this in Ibadan is that outstanding growth and expansion will be enormous, the people of Ibadan bore witness to many greater things from the time of Lagelu, the Oro apata maja till now.

Historically, Ibadan became the hub of politics in the then-nascent nation and the capital of the Western Region. It was and is still acknowledged as the political headquarters of the entire South-West Nigeria. There are many reasons why Ibadan traditional institution must be looked into, for the expansion, inclusion, coordination, develop their domain, as well as protect and develop every aspect of the socio-cultural well-being of the land.

The Olubadan throne is open to all Ibadan indigenes able to climb the chieftaincy ladder, from Jagun, candidates, potential Olubadan will climb 21 steps before emerging as the Olubadan on the Otun Olubadan line, while candidates climb 22 other steps on the Balogun line making it a total of 23 steps before the candidate becomes the Olubadan.

The promotion in the line of Otun Olubadan follows this pattern: From Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Aare Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare-Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye – Abese – Ekaarun Olubadan – Ekerin Olubadan – Ashipa Olubadan – Osi Olubadan – Otun Olubadan, before emerging as Olubadan.

For the Balogun line, similar steps follow this pattern: Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Aare Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare-Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye – Abese – Ekaarun Balogun – Ekerin Balogun – Ashipa Balogun – Osi Balogun – Otun Balogun – Balogun, before eventual emergence as Olubadan.

The reform of Ibadan Chieftaincy System which many believed is long overdue was made into reality by Governor Seyi Makinde with the amendment of Chiefs Law, particularly Section 28. Civilization has brought us into sense of reality as the city is now full expanded. 

Ibadan has been long governed by the 1957 Declaration Law, whereby High Chiefs under the Olubadan are subject to ridicule and lack of respect at public functions, with the new law signed by Governor Makinde, the 1957 Declaration Law has been abolished and upgraded the High Chiefs to the Status of Royal Majesty.

"Olubadan is upgraded to the Status of Imperial Majesty. The law also cut the line to 12 steps on Otun line and 13 steps on Balogun line,” 

The eagle eyes of Governor Makinde made a compass of attraction for the amendment of Chief law before the heads of eleven local government could have the beaded crown, the state government was able to do this with the full backing of 9th state house of assembly under the leadership of Rt. Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin which his assembly was also made a record of law making and sound reforms in 9th assembly.

Governor Makinde has decided to put the record straight and give Ibadan a befitting status; sons and daughters of Ibadan support the amendment to Section 28 of Oyo State Chiefs Laws and the city is witnessing a new look for effective administration.

Significantly, the initial Law gave the governor right to approve beaded crown for those deserving it, but can only exercise his discretion after he must have consulted the Council of Obas and Chiefs.

“But, the amendment made by the legislatures stated that governor has the right to exercise his discretion as provided by the Law unfettered,” 

The future of heritage, culture and arts of a nation rest on the shoulders of the traditional rulers and the traditional institutions around them. As guardians of culture, they are the first and last line of defence against foreign interruption and infiltration. With the promotion and coronation of eleven royal majesty in Ibadan, 

It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our culture, heritage and arts must be preserved, not also not forgetting that every son and daughter of the Ibadan must strive to be an outstanding

The Chiefs Law enacted on 20th June, 1957, had since formed the basis of government regulation of traditional chieftaincy in Oyo State, the section 28 (1) of the chiefs law CAP 28 laws of the state was also looked into in the year 2000, while the 9th house of assembly amended it on 24th May 2023 which read; 

The initial provision of Sub-section (1) which read: ” The Governor may cause such inquiries to be held at such times and in such places and by such person or persons as it or he may consider necessary or desirable ” has now been substituted with: “The Governor may cause such inquiries to be held at such times and in such places and by such person or persons as he may consider necessary or desirable.

To this end, former Clause (3) has now become Clause (4) hence the new Sub-section (3) now reads: “Any person who pursuant to subsection (1) of this section is elevated to wear beaded crown from Baales to Minor Chiefs who being a customary tenant shall continue to pay obeisance to his prescribed or consenting authority. ”

Governor Makinde signed into law on 26th May 2023 and this put an end into agitation of many High Chiefs on the issue of beaded crowns and the volume of litigations and resentment within communities in the State.

The High Chiefs that will be coronated today are Balogun of Ibadanland, Owolabi Olakulehin; Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rasheed Ladoja; Otun Balogun, Tajudeen Ajibola; Osi Olubadan, Eddy Oyewole; Osi Balogun, Lateef Adebimpe; Ashipa Olubadan, Biodun Kola-Daisi; Ashipa Balogun, Kola Adegbola; Ekerin Olubadan, Hamidu Ajibade; Ekerin Balogun, Olubunmi Isioye; Ekarun Olubadan; Bayo Akande and Ekarun Balogun, Abiodun Azeez.
