The Seyi Makinde led Oyo State Government has urged the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin and the Oluwo of Iwo, of Iwo, Ọba AbdulRosheed Adéwálé Akanbi to put an end to their ongoing exchange of words.
Recall that OYOINSIGHT.COM has reported extensively how the boundary dispute between Osun and Oyo states has triggered a war of words between the two monarchs.
In a statement on Tuesday, the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, said both sides must stop the back-and-forth blame game and allow the two governments to continue mature discussions on the resolution to the land dispute.
Oyelade said, “The two governments believe that the protracted land dispute is not intractable and traditional institutions should not be a clog in the wheel of peaceful resolution.
“Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke are cooperating fully with the National Boundary Commission through their representatives and believe that an amicable solution will be arrived at soon.”
