Residents Protest Alleged Imposition Of Monarch On Osun Community

–Seek Adeleke, Royal Father Intervention

Residents of Alajue, a community in Ede, Osun State have appealed to the state government to come to their aid over the alleged imposition of someone on them as their king.

The residents who protested the alleged imposition at the front of the state secretariat on Tuesday said imposing someone on the town might lead to chaos.

The protesters who carried placards said the town was peaceful, adding that they didn’t want anyone who is not an indigene of the town as their king.

In a video obtained by Osun Defender, the protesters who spoke in Yoruba maintained that they do not want a foreigner as their monarch.

The protesters were heard saying, “We are appealing to the state government and our royal father not to impose someone on us. This is about Alajue’s community and not Alajue’s compound.

“For peace to continue in the town, we don’t want someone who is not a stakeholder in our community as our king. We are appealing to our royal father to do the needful.

“We are also begging the state government to cancel any process that might have taken place on the kingship issue before.”
