Kingmakers in Eruwa town in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State have selected a new Eleruwa.
Tribune online reports that the name of the chosen candidate has been forwarded to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State through the local government and the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters for necessary action.
This came almost six years after the stool of the Eleruwa of Eruwa became vacant following a Supreme Court ruling that removed Oba Samuel Adegbola from the position,
The decision was reached on Thursday during an election meeting held at the Eleruwa’s palace, Oke-Oba, Eruwa.
Tribune Online correspondent, who visited Eruwa in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State, gathered that all six kingmakers unanimously selected one of the 18 contenders for the position after about two hours of deliberation.
One of the Kingmakers who spoke with Tribune Online under the cover of anonymity, said, “We have chosen a new Eleruwa of Eruwa, and his name has been sent to the Oyo State government. We now await a response from the state government.”
