TUNDE OGINNI: OSUN STATE GOVERNMENT DENY CLAIM TO OLODOGBO OF ODOGBO-IJESA TITLE

Osun State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs has denied the claim by Dr. Olatunde Oginni that he was installed as the Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa by the state government on January 20, 2012.

In a letter dated April 18, 2024 and addressed to First Bethel Solicitors, the ministry clarified that the assertion by Dr. Oginni is far from the truth and that there is no title in existence bearing Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa in their records.

The ministry further stated that they have a letter dated January 18, 2012, from His Royal Majesty, the Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesa Land, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, dissociating the entire Ijesaland from the strange traditional title claimed by Dr. Oginni.

The ministry emphasized that they only recognize the Likure of Odogbo-Ijesa, Oba Adedapo Samson Adewuyi, who was issued an Instrument of Appointment on November 10, 2022, by the former Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola.

This development contradicts the statement made by the Ejemo of Odogbo-Ijesa, Chief Jacob Adedeji, and Dr. Olatunde Oginni’s spokesperson published on Thursday, the 28th of March 2024 in the online tribune claiming that there had been no controversy over the installation of Oba Olatunde Oginni as Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa.

Chief Adedeji had contended that the monarch’s installation followed due process and urged the community’s indigenes to ignore rumors about any litigation regarding Oba Oginni’s stool.

The conflicting claims has raised questions about the legitimacy of Dr. Olatunde Oginni’s title as the Olodogbo of Odogbo-Ijesa, with the state government’s position contradicting that of the Ejemo of Odogbo-Ijesa and Dr. Oginni’s spokesperson.
