The Igbope community of Orelope local government has sent words of commendations to Governor Seyi Makinde, Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin as well as other stakeholders for the Obaship amendment bill recently passed.
Igbope is one of the four communities in the council areas. Before now, the representative of the LG used to come from quarters in Igboho.
In the amended bill, the representative from the LG would rotate among the four traditional rulers.
IGBOPE COMMUNITY EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO OYO STATE GOVERNMENT AND HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY FOR PASSAGE OF COUNCIL OF OBAS AMENDMENT BILL
The Igbope Community in Orelope Local Government Area of Oyo State extends its profound gratitude to the Government of Oyo State and the Oyo State House of Assembly for the successful passage of the Oyo State Council of Obas Amendment Bill.
This landmark legislative achievement, when assented to by His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, is expected to bring lasting peace and resolution to the longstanding issues of traditional leadership supremacy within Orelope Local Government. It is a progressive step toward fostering unity, promoting equity, and strengthening respect for traditional institutions across the state.
We wholeheartedly commend Governor Seyi Makinde for his visionary leadership and steadfast commitment to justice and peaceful coexistence. Our sincere appreciation also goes to the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters and all the Honourable Members of the Assembly for their responsiveness to the voices of the people and for their courage in enacting this crucial legislation.
We call on all traditional, religious, and political leaders in Orelope and across Oyo State to support this initiative by the government and work collaboratively to ensure peace, stability, and mutual respect among all stakeholders.
On behalf of His Royal Majesty, the Onigbope of Igbope, Oba Dr. Moses Olawale Oyetola
