Traditional leaders in Ibadanland, including Mogajis, Baales, and chiefs, have applauded Governor Ademola Adeleke for approving Prince Haastrup Adesuyi as the Owa Obokun of Ijesa-elect. In a statement issued by Mogaji Nurudeen Akinade, Coordinator of the Ibadan Compounds Peace Initiatives (ICPI), the chiefs hailed the decision as a milestone for the Ijesa community and its rich traditional heritage.

The approval of Prince Haastrup was described as a move that would foster unity and stability in the Ijesa kingdom. The chiefs commended the Osun State Government for upholding the integrity of traditional governance and ensuring the continuity of the prestigious Owa Obokun title.

Highlighting Prince Haastrup’s leadership qualities and commitment to community development, the leaders expressed confidence that his ascension would bring socio-economic progress to the region. They called on the government to maintain its support for traditional institutions as vital agents of peace and development.

The chiefs also emphasized the historical significance of the Owa Obokun title, noting its role as a symbol of leadership and authority in the Ijesa kingdom for generations. They pledged their unwavering support to Prince Haastrup and expressed optimism about the positive changes his reign would bring.

They further encouraged other communities to value traditional leadership and collaborate with their leaders to address pressing issues. The Mogajis urged the Osun State Government to continue prioritizing traditional institutions to ensure societal harmony and sustainable growth across the state.
