The residents of Imesi-Ekiti, Gboyin local government
community in Ekiti state has dragged the leaders of All Progressive Congress
(APC), in the mud over alleged imposition of Kingmakers after declaring the
stool vacant by the executives.
The residents during a protest withdrew their support for
the Olatunji family after being imposed on the Imesi-Ekiti residents.
According to the inscription on their placards the residents
are throwing their weight behind the Agunsoye family as they described the
family tenure as a peaceful one.
The Community and the
Agunsoye family condemned this action.
The residents during a protest had declared that Olatunji
Olatunde is not a candidate for the vacant stool nor a member of the ruling
house .
Crisis rocked Imesi Ekiti in Gboyin Local Government Area on
Thursday May 14th 2020 when the members of the police and Army Squard stormed
the village to nominate warrant chiefs for the selection of the new Onimesi.
This action was to scare the Community and the Agunsoye Ruling house members
from reactions.
This vicious action was championed by the APC Chairman Paul Omotosho.
The Agunsoye family of Imesi Ekiti in Ekiti Local Government
had also condemned and express displeasure at the actions of the Ekiti State Excecutive
Council and APC Chairman Paul Omotosho
over the suspension of the 4 Kingmakers
and installation of warrant chiefs .This act is illegal and unconstitutional.
The Agunsoye Ruling House plea to the Excecutive Governor of
Ekiti State Kayode Fayemi to review the
suspension of the Kingmakers of Imesi-Ekiti because the move is political
inflicted by the enemies of the governor.
The Head of Agunsoye Ruling House and Secretary, Prince Adu
Fasunlade and Sesan Aladesanmi, had in a publication accused the APC chairman
of complicity, imposition and undue influence in the obaship tussle.
The report, published on November 4, 2019 was considered defamatory, injurious, false, malicious, unjustified and harmful to the APC chairman, who demanded its immediate retraction and N500, 000,000 in damages from the Agunsoye family.
According to the publication, the duo accused Omotosho of
working in cahoots with some top hierarchy of the APC-led government to
sabotage the selection processes, noting that the efforts of the kingmakers to
install a new monarch were being frustrated by his ‘antics’.
It clearly stated the position of APC Chairman Omotosho to
force his own candidate on the Agunsoye Ruling House
In his response, Paul Omotosho denied the allegations and
alleged threat to his life over the protracted obaship Tussle. In a petition
dated November 5, 2019 and addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Asuquo
Amba, Omotosho alleged that there was a plot to ‘assassinate’ him as a result
of a publication by Agunsoye Ruling House indicting him of plotting to impose
his anointed candidate, against the choice of the town.
The petition was written on Omotosho’s behalf by his counsel, Olatunbosun Otitoju and titled: “Threat to Life, Conduct Likely to Breach Public Peace and Criminal Defamation of Honourable Barrister Paul Omotosho”.
This is the same APC Chairman Omotosho that is leading the
selection of the warrant Chiefs after using his position to cohot the Governor
of Ekiti state and the Excecutive Council to suspend all the legitimate
kingmakers who are alive and healthy to achieve their selfish aims
The Imesi Community and the Agunsoye Ruling house urge the
Governnor and the Excecutive Council to stop
this action.
Currently there are 2 law cases against the warrant chiefs
in court by the Agunsoye Ruling House to which they await the court ruling.
Therefore, it is unconstitutional to grant any permission
for selection of warrant chiefs
The Governor and His executive Council should follow the
rules of law as demanded by our constitution.
Prophet Godwin Ikuru has cemented his position as one of the leading prophets on the African continent, as an integral part of APC , the prophetic hall of fame never hid his love for the president, Ahmed Bola Tinubu whom he prognosticated into power and fought several battles for his sake
It’s alarming to discover that several political parties are wooing the handsome prophet against 2027 as they believe that his true potential is being underutilised in APC who left him without a portfolio,they kept bombarding him with numerous calls for him to leave the ruling party and join them against 2027
Despite the numerous calls and emissaries sent by the opposition parties,the prophetic hall of fame has kept faith with APC because of the unending love he has for Mr.president,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he’s willing to remain with him despite all the happenings and odds.

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal
…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets
Sahara Weekly Unveils That The Foremost entrepreneur and President of the Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the positive impact of the naira for crude swap deal on the Nigerian economy, which has led to reduction in prices of petroleum products in the country.
To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.
“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.
In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”
According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.
Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.
Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.
