Alawo Stool: CHRSJ Should Seek Proper Education, and Stop Blackmailing Osun Gov, Attorney General.

Alawo Stool: CHRSJ Should Seek Proper Education, and Stop Blackmailing Osun Gov, Attorney General.

The Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) needs to seek proper education from authorities on the throne of the Alawo of Awo in Egbedore Local Government, rather than embarking on blackmail against the Governor, His Excellency, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke and the Attorney General of the state, Barrister Oluwole Jimi-Bada.

The ridiculous petition letter, submitted to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chairman, the National Judicial Commission(NJC) by the above-named organization over a matter that was initiated by the immediate-past Governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola, which is patiently waiting for the Supreme Court’s final decision is just too hypocritical and even subjudiced.

Right in the body of the said petition, there are numerous inconsistencies including an allegation that His Excellency  Governor Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke will soon issue the staff of office on Awo stool which had already been done by ex-Governor Gboyega Oyetola months before the current government came into power.

For record purposes, Mr Taiwo Adegboye was installed as the Alawo of Awo in September 2021 and was subsequently issued staff of office by the Administration of Gboyega Oyetola.

Are they now saying that Governor Ademola Adeleke is on a mission to reissue an already issued Staff of Office? Just doesn’t add up!

While it is a fact that there is a judgement from the Court of Appeal on the stool, Mr Taiwo Adegboye also sought a stay of execution on the judgement, hence, the government’s decision to maintain the status quo pending the full determination of the litigation at the Supreme Court.

It is however unfortunate that a supposedly well-informed civil society organization like the CHRSJ could not differentiate between an anniversary and a coronation but resorted to blackmail for whatever reason predetermined by them.

The misconceptions in the heap of lies tagged petition would have been pardonable if some salient accusations including those concerning the office of the Attorney General of Osun State were not made. Malicious lies including the allegation that the Attorney General misled Mr. Governor on the matter are not just untrue but also hypocritical by faceless persons hiding behind the said organization.

Unknown to them, the NJC under the leadership of the Chief Justice of the Federation is an objective body that does not rely on unverifiable claims for pronouncements.

Unfortunately for these masked writers, their attempt to cause disaffection between His Excellency Mr Governor and the general public has failed once again. Osun is a state of reasonable individuals who are civically aware of the realities around them, not a jungle.

Luckily for us in Osun, we are blessed with a Governor who is a Democrat in aspects, respects established institutions and recognizes the principle of separation of power among tiers and arms of government.

The entire public should beware of organizations like CHRSJ which thrives in lies, blackmail and malicious publications against our masses-lovely government authorities, to serve whatever purpose predetermined by the persons behind it.

Comrade Arewa Oluwaseun

Osun State.
