Oyo Iyaloja General: Princess Abeo Meets  Iyaloja Ibadanland In London, Identify Traders Challenges For Lasting Solutions

Princess Azeezat Folashade Abeo, the Iyaloja-General of Oyo State, and Alhaja Riswat Oyinlola Adeola Ameringun, the Iyaloja of Ibadanland, met on Saturday to discuss long-term solutions to the challenges that traders are currently experiencing, particularly those caused by the camp of saboteurs.

Princess Nurudeen, who maintained that the meeting is being held to deliberately put an end to all sorts of quarrelling in the state, noted that she is so much concerned about the welfare of traders and to address the problems they are facing in the state.

The Iyaloja General of Oyo State, who had been in the UK since last week to congratulate his son on the occasion of his graduation ceremony, thanked the Iyaloja Ibadan land, traditional councils, traders, and other well-wishers for their love and support since her installation and promised that the status quo on all factors that gave rise to her nomination, recommendation, and installation as the new Iyaloja General of Oyo State would be maintained.

She reaffirms her unwavering commitment and dedication to the Governor Makinde led government towards revolutionizing commerce and trade in Oyo state.

Recall that the Late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, at an event witnessed by members of Oyo State Traditional Council of Obas including the Aseyin of Iseyinland, Olugbon Of Ile Igbon, Iba Of Kishi and other stakeholders had installed Princess Abeo as the New Iyaloja General of Oyo state after completing all necessary process that should culminate into final presentation of Certificate of Office to her by the state government as a symbol of authority.

Due to the delay, saboteurs’ camp have been usurping her authority and parading their candidate as the legitimate Iyaloja General of Oyo state.

Following the development, the Oyo state Leaders Council of Secretaries on Saturday appealed to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde to formally present the Certificate of Office to Princess Azeezat Folashade Abeo, the Oyo state’s Iyaloja-General, in order to put an end to all squabbles and prevent crises.

According to the Leaders Council of Secretaries comprising eight out of the 12 clusters that made up the Council, Princess Abeo’s installation as the Iyaloja-General of Oyo state followed due process and was widely accepted and endorsed by consenting stakeholders.

The group in a statement made available to journalists wondering why presentation of her Certificate of Office was being delayed leaving room for needless crisis and avoidable controversies.

The Leaders Council of Secretaries stated that prior to the emergence of the Babaloja-General and Iyaloja-General of the state of Oyo, the two offices and other smaller offices within its leadership were properly zoned to other administrative zones to reflect inclusivity and cohesion of purpose, highlighting the fact that the delay in the presentation of the Princess Abeo’s Certificate of Office gave rise to the lingering controversy.

To ensure an equitable distribution of its offices, the Leaders Council of Secretaries added that while the office of Babaloja-General, currently held by Alhaji Y. K. Abass, was zoned to Ibadan, that of Iyaloja-General was zoned to Oyo, the hometown of Princess Abeo.
They questioned why another person from Ibadan would continue to purposefully sow discord and crisis within the state market.

The Leaders Council of Secretaries also recalled that, in accordance with the current zoning formula to promote equity, fairness, and justice, the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamido Adeyemi III, appointed Princess Abeo as the Iyaloja-General of Oyo state on April 26, 2021, following the Oyo state Market Leaders Council’s recommendation.
