The Lisa of Alade- Idanre Community, Chief Oladiipo Akinsowon, while speaking on Tuesday, said, “Presently, we have no king in Alade but we have a regent. As a regent, I have been on the throne since the past three years taking control of the community, holding meetings with my chiefs because presently, the regent is the acting Oba.

“If anyone is parading himself as a king, he’s never an Oba. I think he is arrogating power that doesn’t belong to him. Nobody can become the Oba without the consent of the kingmakers and we’ve not chosen anybody as the king and no Oba has been approved by the court as the Aladeokun-in-Council of Alade, Idanre.”JAMB Portal

“Since both papers sent to the court have not been recognied and to avoid vacuum, we have to liaise with the elderly people in the community, discuss the matter with them for possible advice on further steps.

“We have a part of Idanre that has experienced 25 Obas on the throne and the 26th one is on the throne. There are traditional ways they used without relying on commission recommendation. We will consult all those people, the elders and they will guide us on the way forward.NYSC Portal

“We are not considering any ruling house for now because those that were sent to the court were struck out. Like I said, we have some communities that have not relied on court’s judgment or any commission before installing their obas.

“So, this time, we are going purely on the traditional way of installing an Oba,” he stated.
