The Ataoja of Osogboland, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, and The Timi of Edeland, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, have said there was no conflict or controversy over the location and naming of the Osun State Government Secretariat.
The traditional rulers said the secretariat’s status quo was not changed, noting that the state government has never denied any community of their rights and privileges in the state.
The monarchs made this known via a statement jointly signed by them, a copy of which was made available to The Star on Sunday.
The statement read: “Our attention has been drawn to rumours and wild insinuations about the status of Osun State Government Secretariat.

“As royal fathers of Osogboland and Edeland, we affirm there is no conflict or controversy over the status, the location, and naming of the state government secretariat.
“We want to reassure our people that the status quo remains as the state government has not acted in anyway to deny any community of their rights and privileges. We blame political forces for attempting to politicise the issue to forment trouble and destabilise the state.
“We call on our people at home and abroad to continue to ensure peaceful co-existence across their communities. As royal fathers, we are convinced the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke has genuine intention to deepen inter-community peace and partnership for development of our dear state,” the traditional rulers noted.
