ELERIN SUCCESSION- DONT APPROVE KANGAROO'S LIST, YOUTH BEGS GOV. ABDULRAZAQ OF KWARA

Groups of opinion and traditional leaders of Erin Ile  town in Kwara State have jointly with the Youths and Women faulted the process of the selection of Elerin of Erin Ile for lack of due process by the Kingmakers (Afobaje) who were accused of Bribery in their purported attempt to enthrone a Ghanian known as Kofi Kingsley in America With the submission of 3 names out of over 30 Princes of Erin Ile that contested for the Royal Stool and therefore call on His Excellency Gov Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq to disregard the illegal list in the interest of public peace and preservation of Erin Ile Cultural and Traditional Heritage.

Investigation revealed that an over 70 Years Old Ghanian Septuagenarian who lives in America without Coming to Erin Ile for decades was packaged to deceive the Kingmakers with an allegedly huge amount of money and a Muslim Name-" Jimoh Adesoye" to make the list.

The Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq  has been called upon to stop the illegal processes and disregard the Purported Liist of shortlisted Name(s) submitted to the Governor of Kwara State through the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs by Group of Youths and Women of the town.

Investigation by our undercover Journalist also revealed that some of the abroad based Contestants for the Prestigious Elerin stool are not qualified to become a King in Yoruba land due to the kind of dirty menial jobs and " shady slavery  jobs" they were involved without ever thinking about the ruling class and royalty in their bloods due to the desperation to make it in life through short cuts.

It's also discovered that many of the abroad based Contestants for Elerin Royal Stool have one or two criminal cases overseas where some were Convicted and imprisoned.

In the same Vein, some of the Contestants are not from any of the Ruling Houses in Erin Ile town. They were only packaged to impersonate as One of the Princes of Erin Ile.

It's obvious that The Erin Ile Kingmakers (Afobaje) did not do any thorough background checks on the over 30 Princes of this ancient town who are  contestants before coming up with an illegal list.

Recognizing the fact that failure to install the rightful person to succeed Oba Abdulganiyu Ajibola Ibrahim who joined His Ancestors last year,May 2023  as the next Elerin of Erin Ile may spell doom for the town if not nip in the bud.

Various Interest groups and opinion leaders with Youths and Women of the Town are now calling on the Governor of Kwara State not to approve the kangaroo Names in the list purportedly sent to His Excellency Gov Abdulrahman  Abdulrazaq The Governor of Kwara State.

The Youth and Women of Erin Ile are therefore calling on the Governor to direct the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs to set up an INDEPENDENT FACT FINDING PANEL to look into the unholy activities of the Erin Ile Kingmakers (Afobaje) and ensure possible redress that will bring long lasting peace to Erin Ile town.

The Views of the opinion leaders, traditional leaders, Youths and Women should be considered. The Next King of Erin Ile must be a middle aged man below sixty years and a grass rooter. A man loved by all and sundry with a personal house in Erin Ile town. A man that is accessible to the good people of Erin Ile with a pedigree of knowledge in the Kwara State Administration in Particular and Nigeria in general. The New Elerin of Erin Ile should be an educated bridge builder with connectivity to the Old, Young and Women.

Conclusively, the State Government needed to calm restive nerves in Erin Ile by taking up the matter of Elerin's succession seriously and of utmost security importance.
