Osun Govt Approves Appointment Of New Aree Of Iree

VOICE AIR MEDIA, VAM News Update

THE Osun State Executive Council has approved the appointment of Prince Muritala Oyelakin, from the Oyekun ruling house of Iree, as the new Aree of Iree in the Boripe North Local Council Development Area of Osun State.

A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, indicates that the approval was given at the meeting presided over by Governor Ademola Adeleke, on Wednesday.

VAM reports that the stool of the Aree of Iree became vacant, a sequel to the Osun State Government’s White Paper Report that nullified all the previous actions of the appointed warrant kingmakers who endorsed the nomination and appointment of Prince Ademola Raphel Oluponle by former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola in 2022, and confirmed the statutory rights of the Iree kingmakers.

Alimi said, “The warrant chiefs had subsequently withdrawn their suit, leading to the restarting of the selection process by the kingmakers and the forwarding of the king-nominee by the local authority to the state government.

“His Excellency, Governor Adeleke, and members of the Osun State Executive Council, accordingly, have congratulated the new Oba-elect, Prince Muritala Oyelakin, on his appointment.

“The Council prays that his reign will usher in peace, growth, and development for the Iree community, its environs, and Osun State at large,” the statement concluded.
