Aiyedatiwa Presents Staff of Office to New Olu-Oke of Oke-Igbo

Ondo State Governor, Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, on Tuesday, November 3, 2025 fficially presented the Instrument of Appointment and Staff of Office to Oba Akintoye Felix Adeoye as the new Olu-Oke of Oke-Igbo, in the Ile-Oluji/Oke-Igbo Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking at the colourful ceremony in Oke-Igbo, Governor Aiyedatiwa said the event marked the end of a long-standing traditional and legal tussle that had kept the stool of Olu-Oke vacant for years.

The Governor recalled that the vacancy followed a judicial pronouncement which nullified the appointment of the late Oba Babajide Lawrence Oluwole. The court, according to him, ruled that the late monarch was not a descendant of the Aare Kuigbaigbe Ruling House and consequently ordered that the next Olu-Oke must emerge from that same ruling house.

Aiyedatiwa explained that the Chieftaincy Declaration registered in 2019 by the deposed monarch was rendered null and void by the judgment, thereby restoring the native laws and customs of Oke-Igbo as the valid guide for the selection process.

Commending the kingmakers for their sincerity and invaluable roles throughout the process, the Governor urged the new monarch to see his ascension as a call to service and an opportunity to promote peace and unity in Oke-Igbo.
