Ekiti State Government has approved the appointment of Prince Olarewaju Oni as the Owa of Oke-Ako Ekiti in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
The Commissioner for Information, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday that the approval was granted on Tuesday at the meeting of the Ekiti State Executive Council, presided over by Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
Olatunbosun said, “The appointment is expected to restore the traditional institution of Oke-Ako Ekiti after more than two decades without a substantive occupant and provide a new platform for unity, stability and development in the community.
“The Owa of Oke-Ako Ekiti is a recognised chieftaincy governed by a Chieftaincy Declaration produced by the Oyewole Chieftaincy Review Commission, which provides for two Ruling Houses, namely, Aofin and Okediosan, to rotate the stool.
“The immediate past Owa hailed from the Okediosan Ruling House, making the Aofin Ruling House next in line to produce the occupant of the stool.
