The Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom, Oba AbdulFatai Aromire Oyegbemi, has dethroned six of his chiefs for violating palace protocol and impersonating him at a political event.
The chiefs were accused of attending a Labour Party campaign event without royal approval. The six chiefs removed from their positions were accused of acting without the monarch's consent and impersonating him at the event.
The decision followed a palace meeting where Oba Oyegbemi declared the chiefs' actions unacceptable and reiterated that no chief should act on his behalf without explicit consent.
In a statement released on Monday, "Following the outcome of this event, which unfolded without his prior knowledge, Kabiyesi Ojora summoned the Bales, Balogun, and the Ojora Councils to his ancient Palace for clarification.
"In a tone marked by disappointment and authority, Kabiyesi stated that the Chiefs' actions were in violation of their duties.
"He reiterated that no Chief should make decisions or act on his behalf without his explicit consent, as they all serve to represent him and uphold the traditions of the land.
"The decisive action of dethroning the six Chiefs underscores his commitment to maintaining order and coherence within his leadership structure.
"During this assembly, Kabiyesi also took the opportunity to commend the present Government ongoing development initiatives in Ojora Land, expressing his commitment to continue supporting the Administration as it fosters growth and progress for the Kingdom.
"This event has reaffirmed the significance of transparency and collaboration between the traditional authorities and their representation in political matters, reminding all Chiefs of their responsibilities while serving under the esteemed Ojora Kingdom," the statement said.
